Bolo is a computer game for the Atari ST using the high resolution monochrome monitor. It is unrelated to the tank game of the same name, and is instead seen as a Breakout clone.
Bolo builds on the concept of Breakout, introducing numerous additions such as gravity, exploding bricks, and tunnelling to make the game more interesting and challenging. Written in the late 1980s by Meinolf Schneider, better remembered for his Oxyd games, Bolo was quite popular with Atari ST users at least in Germany at the time. It was later ported to DOS/Windows.
