A very short entry for a title which was closed as quickly as it was added. Breaker was a cool breakout clone produced for Radarsoft in 1987, but what seems to be a title which is complete and fully released, no-one seems to have seen it on the C64 in physical form.
Could it be that this version was never actually released properly, and leaked instead by crackers? Interestingly a MSX edition was released, and we have added the cover. So did the C64 get a release or not?
Johan Ahlberg originally picked up the game back in 1989 when he was 9-yrs old and found it on a set of cracked turbo tapes. It was on his travels trying to find a real copy of the game in 2014, that he couldn’t actually find anything and thus kick-started a search.
CASE CLOSED – Confirmed as released (albeit maybe limited form) by Marco Das. Photo of original disk added to scans. There are pictures of the released game also here and here.

Update history
11/04/24 – Added links to released version in Retrocollector thanks to Asphodel.
This is also proof it was released and that the box-art was indeed the same as the MSX version:

Thanks Asphodel! I’ll add links into the post with credit to yourself!
sorry for asking, but is that actually an official disk? Are not the “Fantasic-Four” some crackers? Just wondering.
I did find something interesting by accident while searching for something different;
https://archive.org/details/asm-special-01-1988/page/n15/mode/1up?q=+radarsoft
look on page 29. (and yes, I am not sure what the date of this magazine is, but I could have sworn it says somewhere 1988)
Surprise!!!
Hi Edwin, yeah – it is an official disk. The Fantastic Four are just referring to those involved on the game, as detailed here: http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=1099&d=18&h=0
Great find with the review! Originally we thought the game was never released, but the update from Marco confirmed it and meant we could close the case.
Hi Frank,
I have an orginal disk, but only the disk. Snapshot coming to you.
