Game Details

General Description
Probably considered the next great version of "Breakout" Arkanoid became a fun hit. Even today people like having an Arkanoid game in the home or game room.

About this version...
Using a spinner, you move your paddle to reflect the ball towards the bricks. Some bricks take a few hits to break apart, and occasionally a special reward is dropped. These can include expanding your paddle, laser beams, or the ability to catch the ball. The ball can also break into three balls to help you break through the level faster.
