A Brief History

3d Brick Bash! (v1.4) is a 3D version of breakout for Macintosh. I originally released it in 1993 (around the time Mac OS 7 came out) as a modestly-priced shareware game. It got pretty good exposure for a few years, and thanks to the publisher SofSource it was even available for a short while in CompUSA and other stores.

In 2000 I released version 1.4 (downloadable from this page) removing the shareware notices and making it free for anyone to own and play. While the computers it was written for are obsolete many times over, the game still works!

My thanks to everyone who played it over the years, especially the people who registered! Version 1.4 is downloadable below.
