    Right, its old. As in retro 16 colours style.

    There were 5 or 6 rows of blocks along the top of the screen which you had to hit with a ball that was directed by a paddle along the bottom of the screen controlled by the player. The aim was to remove all the blocks from the screen.

    It may have been called Blocks or Bricks or something like that but I'm not certain.

    Any ideas?

    It was called "Concentration camp." It was invented by German military theorists to train the minds of the armoured divisions to the finer points of blitzkrieg warfare. It was written in Java and programmed on a stolen English enigma running Windows '95 with no valid product key.
