BlockBuster is, as its name suggests, a block-breaking game with ball and paddle, a genre that flourished in quantity after the success of Atari's Breakout and generated dozens of variants from small manufacturers during the 70s and 80s. There's no detailed, reliable record of its exact origin or of particular variations in its mechanics. It's interesting today as part of that early lineage of the brick-breaker genre, more as an archaeological piece of the medium than as a proposal with a strongly marked identity of its own.
