Arkanoid (アルカノイド, Arukanoido) is an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986. It expanded upon Atari's Breakout games of the 1970s by adding power-ups, different types of bricks, and a variety of level layouts. The title refers to a doomed "mothership" from which the player's ship, the Vaus, escapes.
The player controls the "Vaus", a space vessel that acts as the game's "paddle" 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 appears. 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 the Vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level, etc.), but the gameplay remains the same.
At round 33 (36 for the NES version,) the final stage, the player will take on the game's boss, "DOH", a head resembling moai. Once a player reaches round 33, he must defeat DOH with his remaining extra lives because there are no continues on the final round. In the NES version the final boss is on stage 36, and there are no continues throughout the entire game, so the entire game must be beaten in one sitting.

For more details, see http://tasvideos.org/66M.html This was the first publication of Arkanoid on TASVideos. Arkanoid strongly resembles the arcade game Breakout. In Arkanoid, the paddle is actually a spaceship, and the bricks are space walls. The goal of the game is to break through the space walls and defeat the villainous Doh in order to escape from the space labyrinth. This incredible TAS of Arkanoid, made by Genisto, inspires awe in a manner comparable to adelikat's Gradius movie. No ball is ever lost, even though three balls are juggled in almost every level.

On February 19, 2017, I road-tripped with a few friends from New York City to New Haven, Connecticut, to break the Arkanoid high score at a place called Barcade. For those who don't know, Arkanoid is a classic arcade video game that came out in 1986. Fourteen years later, I set the world record on it, and I'm always excited when I get the chance to play it in public. To help quantify things a bit, the high score here at Barcade was 1,283,140. The second-highest verified score in the world (according to Twin Galaxies) is 1,418,180. The score I achieved at Barcade was 1,520,130, and my best ever was 1,658,110. I know that 1.7 million points is doable. Maybe someday . . .
Zeus presents Arkanoid (un-emulated) for the C64, a true classic from the golden era of C64 gaming which must not be forgotten alongside the software house and all programmers that were involved in making this game. Year of release: 1987 Well i'm quite surprised that no C64 fanatic has uploaded a longplay of this before on youtube, so I guess it was down to me to do so. Starts off with the usual cracking Ocean loader II, followed by a cool sounding title screen music,...even though to me it doesn't fit this particular game, in fact it's the same music on the game Cobra,...well the spectrum version anyway. This version of the game is ok but there are two things I really don't like about this version: 1) The ball can suddenly change direction in mid flight for no reason which is a real nui...

Arkanoid Revenge Of Doh 1988 © Ocean Software
Arkanoid 1029120 pwnasaurus Yolympics 2016 score
The thouht of you has plagued my years
I see you now
Crawling all over me
Symptom of my darkest fears
With me now
Living inside of me
In the night
As you sleep
the web begins to form
Across your face to suffocate
And kill before the dawn
Arachnid
Strangely drawn towards her lair
certain death ,
she wants to be part of you
Lie in wait my choice of mate
I can't resist she
Bites and devours you
Lift your body
>From the ground
Strech octapoidal limbs
Leave the web
Without a sound
The fantasy begins
Come into the parlour said the spider
to the fly
Not really knowing that the end is
drawing nigh
Making love in ecstacy,the venom she injects
Death is swift,limbs entwined amid
arachnid sex
the scent you spread i know so well
could leave me dead
Hopelessly mesmerised
Your bite will mean the end to me
Can you see i'm
Helplessly hypnotised
Panic stricken
Terrified
Cocooned within the web
Arachnophobic
Misery
Release me from this living nightmare
If i stalk you must
forgive me
For this dance is my
