Physical ObjectDescription
Item is a cartridge with an insertion slot on one end to plug it into a game console.Breakout was one of the most popular games in the long history of the Atari 2600. Head Engineer Al Alcorn assigned Atari employee Steve Jobs to design the single-player game, which was similar to Pong. Jobs in turn asked his friend Steve Wozniak to do it. But Wozniak’s design proved too difficult to manufacture – or understand-- and another team designed the final version.
