If you're not familiar with Arkanoid and you call yourself a video gamer, you may want to re-think things a bit. This Breakout clone from Taito takes all of the good things about the Atari classic and improves them. Even the tight paddle control is included with the pack-in Vaus controller.

Multiple balls, "sticky" reflectors, wider reflectors, lasers, varied block formations, and more are some of the features of this game that distinguish it from the more primitive Breakout from which it draws the signature gameplay.

Arkanoid, has been released for a variety of systems, both with and without paddle controllers.

Overview from game case:

It's a real block buster!

Use your special Vaus controller to shatter the walls of the space labyrinth in 33 amazing rounds of a fight for survival!

Control the action of your adventure with the high speed controller included. Use with Arkanoid now... use with other great Taito games to come.
