Monkey Magic (1979) is a video game released in arcades by Nintendo in exclusively in Japan in 1979. It is a Breakout clone and one of Nintendo's earliest arcade games. Some sources claim that Ikegami Tsushinki also did design work on Monkey Magic. Players control a paddle to hit the ball at a large number of blocks shaping a monkey's face. To earn a victory the user must destroy the entire face of the monkey. Players can also earn different numbers of points by catching blocks that fall, as well as hitting the ball in different places.
