DESCRIPTION
Arkanoid is Breakout (Thro' the Wall) with power-up's.
CONTROLS
Keyboard, Kempston
KEYS : Left - Z to V
Right - B to M, SPACE
Fire - A to L
INSTRUCTION
Just like the original Break Out - use your bat and ball to
destroy successive walls of multi-coloured bricks. Not all of
the bricks vanish on contact - some need several hits, and others
drop a spinning power-up capsule giving features such as an
expanded bat, slower ball, laser, extra life and so on.
Aliens also pose a problem - although harmless, they get in the
way of the ball and cause it to fly off in unexpected directions.
SEQUELS/PREQUELS
Arkanoid was followed up with Arkanoid 2.
SCORES RECEIVED
Crash: "Surprisingly addictive considering its ancient gameplay."
