In mid 1986, Sinclair added a Games cartridge containing Breakout, Gun, Hunt, Pirate, Zfred to the standard software supplied with the boxed Sinclair QL.

There were several versions of Breakout written for the Sinclair QL.

The version of Breakout supplied with the QL, was an excellent implementation of the basic arcade game. You had 3 bats (lives) to score as many points as possible. Different coloured bricks scored different amount of points. Every so often the rows of bricks would descend a level and they may change colour to a lower scoring value.
