Retro Classix: BreakThru Reviews

Data East <3

It's a fun little retro shooter. It's not going to blow anyone away, so only get this if you specifically like retro games. If they ever bring it back to the store, anyway.

BreakThru, the classic arcade, just as you remember it. A shooting and jumping car has to reach an airfield to retrieve a stolen plane Breaking Thru five stages. The game is tough at times but fair, and even a mediocre player like me can do it in 45 minutes (or "0.8 hours", according to Steam). I enjoyed this game back in the 80s when I played it on my Amstrad CPC computer (it was a very decent adaptation) and now I have enjoyed the very nice arcade version, brought back to you by 612 Games and Ziggurat. Like the rest of the Retro Classix series, you play inside a modest virtual arcade with CRT filters and the works, but of course you can disable all that if you want. I had a great time. Of course, the games I'd really want to play are ATOMIC RUNNER CHELNOV, SLY SPY, MIDNIGHT RESISTANCE and especially ROBOCOP 1 +2, but if we don't buy "minor" releases like this, I don't know how the good people at Ziggurat are going to make it work, so please spend some money on these games.

Lovely classic game with very addictive gameplay back in the day! Jumping and shooting with that car used to be so cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-_6BkViEg
