About

Block Buster is a block-breaking game for the Microvision handheld console. Players use a paddle to hit a bouncing ball, clearing rows of blocks to score points. Simple controls and quick rounds make it easy to pick up and play, even by today’s standards. The game was released in 1979 as part of the Microvision system package. As the first cartridge-based handheld game, Block Buster holds a key spot in gaming history. While rudimentary, its straightforward action laid the groundwork for future portable titles. It’s a curiosity for retro enthusiasts and a reminder of gaming’s early days. Despite its age, the gameplay is clean and functional.
