BreakThru 5 Screw NES cartridge: Data East's 1987 side-scrolling action game in a five-screw shell. Early NES cartridges are held together with five small slotted screws, and collectors track them as their own version. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
BreakThru started as a Data East arcade game in 1986. Data East developed and published the NES version, which came out in North America in November 1987. It is a one-player game.
Your mission is to break through enemy strongholds and recover the stolen fighter plane PK430. You drive an armed vehicle that can shoot and jump. Jumping lets you clear obstacles and enemies on the ground, so timing your leaps is the core skill.
On the NES, the A button shoots and the B button jumps, which is the reverse of many NES games. Power-ups include a wide beam and invincibility. Continues are unlimited, so a patient player can push all the way through.
The 5 screw label describes the case, not the game. A BreakThru 5 screw cartridge has five slotted screws on the back, a feature of early NES production. The game inside is the same Data East BreakThru NES 1987 release as the standard listing. Turn to the listing photos to see the back of the cartridge and the label on this exact copy.
