First released as an arcade cabinet, Breakout was a top-five seller over its first few years in the marketplace. When it was ported to console, it was the second best-selling home video game of 1980. The first copyright filing for Breakout was denied on the grounds that it "did not contain at least a minimum amount of original pictorial or graphic authorship, or authorship in sounds." #atari appealed the decision, and none other than future Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ruled that Breakout was copyrightable. According to Steve Wozniak, Breakout had a big influence on the design of the Apple computer. In a 1986 speech at the Apple World convention, Wozniak said: “I started working on enhancing the Apple-1 – I designed it from day one. When I had been in Atari’s labs doing the Breakout game, I had tried a simple trick to generate color, because #atari was doing their first color games at around that time… A lot of the features of the Apple II went in because I had designed Breakout for #atari. I had designed it in hardware. I wanted to write it in software now. So that was the reason that color was added in first – so that games could be programmed."
