Breakaway IV for the Atari 2600, released under the Tele-Games line by Sears, is a vintage paddle-based video game. As a variant of the block-breaking genre popularized by Breakout, it challenges players to navigate horizontally moving paddles to deflect a ball and destroy layers of bricks above. Its simplicity belies the skill required to master the game, as it demands precision and timing. The title offers variations in playstyle, speed, and brick layouts, providing a classic arcade experience directly on the home console for single players or in a competitive two-player mode.
