Arkanoid

Instructions: lr Move lr Action


gameHistory: Arkanoid is an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986. It is based upon Atari's Breakout games of the 1970s.

Gameplay: In Arkanoid, the player controls a small pad, known as the "vaus" space vessel, which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field, attempting to bounce it against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear. When all the bricks are gone, the player goes to the next level, where another pattern of bricks appear.

There are a number of variations (bricks that have to be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to enhance the vaus (expand your vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level), but the main gameplay remains the same.

NERD NOTE: Arkanoid was so popular that four versions of the game were developed for the arcade coin-op market: Arkanoid, Tournament Arkanoid and Revenge of Doh (Arkanoid II) both in 1987 and Arkanoid Returns in 1997.
