Editor's review of DX-Ball

3.0 stars
""

Now here's a walk down memory lane. Modeled after the hugely popular MegaBall for the Amiga, this game maintains not only the look and feel of the original breakout style of game but similar sounds as well. This freeware download is easy to play, but don't expect to be wowed by graphics or fancy features--this is nostalgia, pure and simple. For a more up-to-date brick-smashing game, you'd be best to look elsewhere. However, DX-Ball is small, stable, and free. What more could you want? Bring back the '80s and break out DX-Ball.

"Not an excitingly fun game..."

by GoldPirate on January 28, 2008

Pros: The game is no different than the paddle games of the ancient days. Great if your bored, but nothing special.

Cons: The game is incredibly slow, and you always get that annoying block that takes you forever to destroy..
