The ultimate block-breaking legend—everyone knows the name!

"ARKANOID" is a brick breaker released by TAITO in 1986.
Take the helm of the spacecraft "VAUS" and bounce the Energy Ball to shatter the Space Walls.
Your goal is to escape from the dimension of a warped labyrinth and return to the mothership "ARKANOID." Collecting power-up items will give you the edge you need to conquer each stage!

The "Arcade Archives" series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces.
Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores.
Please enjoy the masterpieces that built a generation for video games.

*The options menu and manual are available in Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
