    Balls Get Tossed Around

    I never owned an Atari 2600 myself (I'm sadly a bit too young to have lived through the glorious Wooden Age of gaming), but I do remember playing a blatant clone on my old 1997 PC, a game the computer programmers had coyly decided to call "Beebop". It was Breakout, exactly, down to the letter. And it was just as fun, too. I don't understand the whole tennis player theme going on on the box art, though; I always assumed the plot of the game was that you were a crane operator with a possessed wrecking ball, trying to take apart a stubborn building brick-by-brick. But I guess tennis works too.
