Bandai's version of the popular Break Out clones. (Also called
The Block and a French version called Le Casse Brique, although
I have a French version just called 'Block'). The game appears to have a paddle controller, but
it is actually just a toggle switch. It can't spin all the way around, just a little to the left
and right, underneath there's a contact switch that triggers the left or right 'button'. Probably
its most interesting characteristic though is the unique shape of the game itself. Bandai's
Galaxian game is also this shape.
There's a Kaken logo on motherboard with a single-color VFD. The multi-colored blocks are
achieved by the addition of a piece of actual 35mm film exposed with different colored areas
taped to the back of the dark plastic covering.
