BreakThru! (ブレイクスルー) is a Sega Saturn puzzle game developed by Shoeisha. A port of Zoo Corporation's 1990 Unix puzzle game The Wall, it was published on CD in Japan by BMG Victor in 1995. Spectrum HoloByte, the original version's publisher, had plans to bring BreakThru! to both the Genesis and Game Gear courtesy of developer Realtime Associates in 1994.[5] While both these cartridge versions would be cancelled before release, the Genesis version actually ended up being broadcast to American Sega Channel subscribers in late 1996.[4][6]
Advertising saw Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov lend his name to the game, despite not being involved in its actual development.
