It's a Breakout clone. I mean that's what they're generally called in case you did not already know this.

it was called brick on the ipod.
woz and jobs did work on breakout at atari
A piece of lore I never knew.
Digging into it just now, an important distinction I initially missed is that they worked on the original arcade cabinet (all game logic implemented directly in hardware), which predated the 2600 and its software version by several years (by which time they had already founded Apple).
lol. Woz did work on Breakout for Atari (Atari didn't know this). Jobs got most of the money (Woz didn't know this).
It's literally one of the "big prick" items of Job's history, along with disowning his own child.
I saw an interview where someone asked woz about getting screwed out of a lot of the Atari money It was apparently new information to Woz, and he simply deflated a little, and muttered "not again, Steve..."
It was heartbreaking.

Not another Steve good, Woz bad myth.
With Woz at the helm, Apple would have gone the way of Commodore and Atari, it's a good thing he got out.
