Block Block (World 911106 Joystick)

Block Block (World 911106 Joystick) is a beloved classic arcade brick-breaking game developed and published by Konami, with its official global release date of November 6, 1991 reflected in the 911106 timestamp in its ROM title. Built exclusively for standard arcade joystick controls, this version offers zero input lag and highly responsive paddle movement that made it a standout hit in 1990s arcade halls worldwide. Unlike traditional brick-breaking titles that only feature static level layouts, Block Block introduces dynamic mechanics including 40+ unique levels, special power-up drops, multi-ball modes, and even themed boss fights every 5 levels that set it apart from earlier entries in the genre. The game supports both single-player and 2-player co-op modes, where two players can team up to clear levels faster and cover more ground to avoid missing the ball. Bricks come in multiple variants: standard white bricks break in one hit, silver bricks require two hits, and rare gold bricks

Game Guide

Mastering Block Block (World 911106 Joystick) is easy to learn but hard to perfect, with these actionable tips to help you clear all 40 levels and beat every boss. First, familiarize yourself with the core controls: move left and right with the arcade joystick to shift your paddle, and press the primary action button to launch your starting ball, or fire bullets if you have picked up the Laser power-up. For new players, prioritize picking up the Wide Paddle power-up first: it doubles the width of your paddle for 60 seconds, drastically reducing your risk of missing the ball and giving you far more control over ball rebound angles. The Multi-Ball power-up is another top priority, spawning 2 extra balls that let you clear bricks 3x faster, though you should focus on tracking the lowest ball first to avoid losing all your lives quickly. Avoid picking up the Shrink Paddle power-up at all costs: it cuts your paddle size in half, making even easy levels almost unbeatable for newer players. When you encounter boss fights every 5 levels, split your focus between bouncing the ball into the boss’s glowing weak point and dodging the small projectile obstacles it launches at your paddle—you only need 10 successful hits to the weak point to defeat each boss and unlock a bonus level. For 2-player co-op runs, split the screen into left and right zones: assign one player to cover the left 50% of the screen and the other to cover the right, to eliminate gaps where the ball can slip past. For advanced players, use the edge of your paddle to hit the ball at sharp, extreme angles: this lets you reach hidden bricks in the top corners of levels that are impossible to hit with straight-on rebounds, and can even trigger secret bonus points for trick shots.
