Arkanoid

Platform : Nintendo Entertainment System

Publisher : Taito

Release date : 26 December 1986

Category : Action

Game description

Escaped from a doomed mothership, you control the Vault, a spaceship that serves... as a paddle to send the ball to break bricks!

Arkanoid is considered as an evolution of Breakout. The concept is similar: make sure the ball never goes past the bottom of the screen, by making it bounce back on the "ship" that you control.

Arkanoid adds bonuses falling from some bricks when they are cleared, such as sticky ball with which you can move around and press a key to release the ball, instead of it bouncing instantly away, as well as everybody's favorite - the laser cannon, letting you shoot away the bricks directly (while not forgetting the ball, shall we?)

With 36 levels in stores and no continues, this is a classic game that most players with a controller in that era of time remember.
