Castle Take (aka キャッスルテイク, Kyassuru teiku) was an arcade game developed and released in Japan in 1978 by the company "Sankyo". It appears to be a clone of Atari's Breakout, themed around Feudal Japan with the main goal being to take over a Pagoda. Though the game's ROM has not surfaced online yet, there appear to still be playable machines in Japanese arcades. Currently, there is no footage anywhere online, only photos of the screen taken by various Twitter users.
Gameplay
As stated before, this is a game similar to Breakout, with a few gameplay differences to not make it a 1:1 copy. The player must break all the colored blocks in order to progress in the levels, and the blocks at the top are closed off in a more narrow passage (Representing the roof of a Pagoda).
