It sounds like the old arcade game "Breakout".
My mom and dad (70's) got so addicted to this (Breakout) that they managed a "repetitive motion" ailment... LOL...
Myself, I stick to my addictions: Sherlock, Civilization, and Empire...
My daughter's addictions are Goldrunner, Enigma, and SuperTux.
There's a video game addiction for everyone... whether your soft spot is strategy and tactics, arcade, or logic...
In my college days, we had the arcade version called Arkanoid.
