Monkey Magic is a 1979 arcade game released by Nintendo exclusively in Japan. The game is a Breakout clone, and one of Nintendo’s earliest arcade games. Ikegami Tsushinki did design work on the game. Players control a paddle to hit the ball at a large number of blocks shaping a monkey’s face. To win, the player must destroy the entire face of the monkey. Players can earn points by catching blocks that fall, and hitting the ball in different places.
