  Apart from listing all Breakout clones, I've also made a start listing all Frogger clones.
  
  As usual, please let me know which ones I overlooked. :smile:

  Breakout clones missing from your list as follows
  
  
  Arcanoid
  Chicks&Bricks
  Ricochet
  Ragnablock
  Exploding Wall
  
  You might want to include Titan too. I'd say yes to including Ball Breaker.

  Thanks!
  I used them all (but not Titan) and replaced the Ragnablock in-game screen with one that actually shows the Breakoutness. ;-)

  I've found a 'Frogger' BASIC type-in at TodoSpectrum magazine (don't remember which issue now). If I can copy it shortly, I'll submit it as soon as it's done.

  Speaking of Frogger clones don't forget about my little game Holidays in Amsterdam:

  The only Frogger clone on Spectrum with adult content :)

  I think there is a Frogger and a Breakout game on here.

  Sure, but compilations (and covertapes) shouldn't receive any such flags, as those apply to the individual titles rather than the compilation (or covertape) as a whole.
  And yes, there probably is both a Frogger and a Breakout clone on Cassette 50. :-)

  Of the five Hopper titles, one is already classified as a clone. According to the description of the ZX81 titles and the adverts of one of the two Spectrum titles, they are all clones. My guess is that the last one is as well, based on the adverts and Spectrum Games "track record".

  Yup, but first Tetris, which I did today. :-)

  The other 2 (Spectrum) Hopper titles now received the flag as well.

  is there any reason why Frogrun by Anirog and Frogger by Rabbit have the same graphics? :-o
  
  um, yes. the screenshot for Frogrun is wrong!

  A new in-game screen has been grabbed.

  In what way? They don't look at all alike (apart from being Frogger clones) to me?
