Description
Alleyway is a 1989 video game developed by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is a Breakout clone and one of the launch titles developed and released for the system. The game was released alongside the Game Boy, first in Japan in 1989, in North America later that year, and in Europe in 1990. It was later re-released for the Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS in June 2011, and on the Nintendo Switch Online service in May 2024. The name Alleyway references the in-game gateway that the player's spaceship (represented as a paddle) must pass through. While Alleyway is a portable clone of Breakout, it adds several features, including alternating stages, bonus rounds, and hazards for the player at later levels. While the game's original box art featured an unidentifiable protagonist, later international releases of the game replaced the character with Mario. Alleyway was released with limited advertising, receiving moderate to low scores from reviewers who compared it to games like Arkanoid.
