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.

Here is a level conversion of the NES title Arkanoid to Sega's "Gigas" arcade game, which itself is similar to Arkanoid in a number of ways. While the gameplay mechanics have not been implemented from Gigas, you can enjoy all the levels and play them Arkanoid style.
