Yeah, when I heard Breakout being called Pong solitaire in an article I read, I thought, of course, single-player Pong. Then if you think about Arkanoid, that's Breakout taken to new levels of complexity and skill. There's also been some weird mashups that use Breakout-like mechanics like Kirby's Block Ball, which I tried to find today at Game Junkies. No luck though.
