Off the Wall is an arcade game produced by Atari Games and released in North America in 1991. A remake of Breakout, it has a much wider variety of gameplay elements of the original. Most notably, it models spin on the ball. Off the Wall supports up to three players simultaneously (though most cabinets only support two). The game's graphics include many backgrounds modeled after modern abstract art. In spite of the identical title, this is a different game from the 1989 Atari 2600 cartridge release.
