This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.
Off the Wall is an arcade game released by Atari Games in 1991. It shares similar gameplay to Atari's classic, Breakout. Tengen developed a PC Engine port, but was quietly cancelled as the manufacturing costs of 8-megabit HuCards were too high as well as the game possibly requiring a paddle controller for optimal play[1]. A prototype has since been found and dumped, while a later build is known to have been in the possession of former Tengen developer Jun Amanai, who posted a gameplay video on YouTube.
No other home versions Off the Wall were ever released (a Game Gear version was planned before also being cancelled), though a similar (but unrelated) Atari 2600 game was released in 1989 by Atari Corporation.
