Description Source:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkanoid
Arkanoid (アルカノイド Arukanoido?) is an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986. It is based upon Atari's Breakout games of the 1970s. The title refers to a doomed "mothership" from which the player's ship, the Vaus, escapes.
Overview:
Much like the game Breakout, 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, the final stage, the player will take on the game's boss, "DOH", a head resembling moai.[1] Once a player reaches round 33, he must defeat DOH with his remaining extra lives because there are no continues on the final round.
The game opens with a monologue stating the following: "THE TIME AND ERA OF THIS STORY IS UNKNOWN. AFTER THE MOTHERSHIP "ARKANOID" WAS DESTROYED, A SPACECRAFT "VAUS" SCRAMBLED AWAY FROM IT. BUT ONLY TO BE TRAPPED IN SPACE WARPED BY SOMEONE........"
A second monologue is at the end of the game, after destroying the "dimension-controlling fort" that looks like a red wire-frame Moai. DIMENSION-CONTROLLING FORT "DOH" HAS NOW BEEN DEMOLISHED, AND TIME STARTED FLOWING REVERSELY. "VAUS" MANAGED TO ESCAPE FROM THE DISTORTED SPACE. BUT THE REAL VOYAGE OF "ARKANOID" IN THE GALAXY HAS ONLY STARTED......" - Ігри
26:12 "Let's see...which difficulty should I play this on? Beginner...Normal....Advanced- JEDI MASTER?!"
Impossible Mode Coming Soon...
I am surprised at the difference in difficulty between versions! This was an excellent round up of many platforms. Thanks for the post!

Loved the CPC version which was full screen too.
There was also a Intellivision Homebrew clone of Arkanoid called Stonik and it was very well done had the power ups and those things that float around and it had real cool music, was definitly Arcade Quality and proof that the Intellivison wa a system capable of playing quality arcade games of the 80's unlike the Atari VCS.
Famous C-64 music chip...
J'ai passé ma vie sur la version amstrad!
Quel souvenir! Très bonne vidéo!
For the MSX version, this is a Japanese game (NTSC/60Hz) and you seem to be playing it in PAL/50Hz this will make it run 16,7% slower than intended.
This game also supports its proprietary paddle controller. It's autodetected by the game and emulated with the mouse in most emulators.
WOW the Mac version had BOTH Colors!!!!! Black and White!!! Back then, you got a 9", Black and White, screen with a one button mouse, a Single Tasking OS, No Hardware accelerated Graphics and mediocre sound for the low, low price about $3,000.00!
Compared to the Amiga with 4096 colors, 4 channel stereo sound, a Fully Pre-emptive OS, Hardware accelerated graphics, a 13" screen, the abitlity to upgrade the CPU/Memory/hard drive controllers via a full function expansion port all at half the cost of the Mac.
The Atari ST did not have many of the features of the Amiga, but it was even cheaper and had a Midi port.
Sluggo
Atari ST (no offense) was the Poor version of Amiga but still stupend Machine I love it...
Apple do a bad way leaving the A][ series and focusimg only in MAC...not a bad machine anyway
+MetalSonicodraco7342 I assume your post was through a language Translation program. I need to learn more languages so I can communicate better. I think I understand what you said and Thank You for responding.Sluggo
sluggotg Sorry dude, my English suck more than the bad idea of the B/W MAC.
The BBC Micro version was so fast. It's almost too fast to be playable, and even collecting an S capsule didn't really help. But, there was a very simple but awkward cheat. The DELETE and COPY keys at the bottom right of the keyboard were the pause and resume keys (whichever way around that was). If you kept them held down, the game would keep constantly pausing and resuming in quick succession, thereby slowing the action down immensely.
I seem to recall that I used to regularly score over 150,000 with those two keys held down the entire time, then had to have my fingers prised from the keys at the end of a mega Arkanoid session. Used to be able to play for hours on end but my fingers would be sore after all that time. Used to get so many extra lives they would disappear off the bottom of the screen.
FYI, the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) cartridge actually contains two different ports of the game: one for the CoCo 3 (as shown in this video) and a simpler one for the CoCo 1 & 2. I played the latter back in the day because I had a CoCo 2.
I only remember playing araknoid on my moms blackberry, I still play it on their today!
I loved DS Arkanoid because of how cool the visuals looked. I wanna get this game again
Fo real babeh
I just watched the movie "Pixels" tonight... they screwed up repeatedly throughout the movie. The Video sent to the stars was in 1982, (one of my favorite years). But they screwed up the pop stars and music. Then they had the wrong video games. They tried to pawn off Arkanoid as Breakout, (Arkanoid came out in 86. ), Duckhunt came out in 85! They tried to portray Nintendo as the dominant force in 1982. But In 1982 The Only Thing you had from Nintendo was Donkey Kong... it was cool, but certainly not the top game. At that time Atari had Asteroids, Dig Dug, Centipede, Milipede, Tempest, Battle zone, Asteroids Deluxe, The Red Baron, Williams had Defender, Joust, Robotron, Bubbles, and Stargate (Defender 2). There was also, Missle Command, Pole Position, Lunar Lander, Space Invaders, Boot Hill, Gunfight, Biplanes, the Tank series, Pong, Computer Space, Space Panic, Scramble, Super Cobra, Moon Patrol, Wizards of Wor, Galaga, Glaxians, Space Firebirds, Carnival, and of course Pac Man. In the Movie, most of the games were ignored, games that did not happen till later were featured and because they no doubt got lots of money from Nintendo, they made them the Featured Games... and Yes, Donkey Kong was a pattern game, you had to memorize the bouncy springs etc. (yes it was a very hard game.... but still a pattern game). Sluggo
+sluggotg That's an Adam Sandler movie, it's insulting for a person with an analatical mind to watch it no matter what the theme is.
I think I picked up on a few of those when I watched it but I enjoyed the film anyway. What year was q Bert? That would be later wouldn't it though it does have a Phillips videopac version which should make it older.
Great effort man :)
+Ahmad Salah Abd El-Motagaly Thanks !
I find games such as Arkanoid, Space Invaders & other arcade games need actual music & beer while playing... because they're so freak'n awesome!
Pretty good showing by the Tandy Coco3. Definately the best of the 8bit versions. Fast, smooth, graphically very close and even has the same level layout (which isn't true of all versions).
There's also a Tandy Coco1 version by the way, which is omitted from your video.
Couldn't get the CoCo 1 to work. :(
Almost 40 minutes of sheer Arkanoid frenzy... Who could ask for more?!
Also, interesting how on the NES version, the capsule power-ups "stack" (i.e., you can get the laser power up after the slow-ball power up and use both simultaneously), but not in the arcade version (the 1-up power capsule took away the extend power). I wonder if this was intentional or unintentional on Taito's part?
While slow cancels other powerups, it's an instantaneous change in ball speed, so other powerups can't cancel slow. That's how it is in the arcade too. Slow can even stack with itself.
I love these and I thank you for the hard work but I just wish they were a bit shorter so I could watch them in the car or such :P
Holy shit. I played this game so much and never realized, until now, that it has the same sound effects as Time Pilot.
I wonder if Discovery Software got into trouble for making a decent arcade conversion?
It was as though good Amiga ports were illegal or something.
C64 and NES versions weren't too shabby either.
I agree with you
Playing this game on ds is like shoting with handgun on 1km, thanks to the missing part of screen where you just cant see its hard to calculate trajectory .
Too bad the C64's title music sequence isn't shown here... ;) That's one awesome racket of a tune! (with sampled drums!) Great, since even the arcade version only has jingles.
I agree - I love the bass line in that tune.
There was an Arkanoid game for Super NES, "Arkanoid: Doh It Again." Although I guess that's more of a sequel, not a remake.
You can tell which computers the Taito engineers probably had access to. That's why the MSX and NEC versions have the correct music and sound effects. I think they were impressed by the Apple IIgs as well, which is why that port and the sequel are almost identical to the arcade versions. The other computers didn't really have good sound hardware by comparison, as well.
The intro music for the c64 is so incredibly badass.
/watch?v=AtcnDPDdtLg
Such happy music for your ship exploding.
It's nice looking at computers that were popular in the late 80s, and how their version of Arkanoid works. The DS version shows how advanced our technology has gone, even after about 20 years.
If anything the DS version makes it look like technology has worsened. Those graphics are bloody awful.
+Carnivac And the sound is lees impressive than the one of C64 or Amiga
Lo tuve en Amstrad CPC y para mi la mejor versión de 8 bits en cuanto a gráficos, sonidos y jugabilidad.
sorry folks.. Had to pull the original down. I used the wrong unfinished clip for the Apple 2 GS. fixed now.
Arkanoid is an awesome classic. I think I played the C64 version to the death. The NDS version looks a lit bit strange and weird...
Here Italy, the version AMIGA is perfect !!! And needed only 512k of memory !!! AMIGA 500 without expansion !!!
Oh, by the way, what do you have BlueMSX set to? If you need to, it can be set to NTSC (same for VICE if you need to record C64 or Vic20 games that came out in the US originally).
OK, thanks for the reply. :)
Commodore version. Hands down.
So what program did you use to emulate the Macintosh version?
There have been literally hundreds of clones for this game, none of which truly redefined the bat and ball style play like the original Arkanoid did. The only clone that really took the concept to the next level was Shatter, a 2009 indie game by New Zealand developers at Sidhe. Though I may have my facts wrong and I'm sure I get a lot of replies correcting me for what I just said.
The Amstrad CPC version is the best 8bit version, despite a few slowdowns, as its vertical fullscreen provides the best experience. The followup Arkanoid2 was even better. The BBCmicro versio is somewhat similar, yet less coloured.
What do you use for Amstrad CPC emulation? There are some bad speed up/down issues that weren't there on the original system.
Did the C64 and Amiga versions use paddles from the Atari VCS?
yeah. I knew about it. it was programmed within the coco 3 version. I couldn't include it because for some reason it kept glitching out on me. :(
*snerks at the end of the BBC Micro section* Someone's been watching the "Anthology of Interest" on Futurama WAY too many times. :P
Are you using an emulator for the Nintendo DS version? If so, which one do you recommend?
Can you do lets compare lode runner with all of the versions
It's basically Breakour with power-ups.
true ! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of all the ports ... well ... except for the Apple 2 version.. the sound is like cheese graters on my ear drums.
Not a single BAD port. A great game no matter which system you play it on. Even the Speccy port is near arcade perfect.
Spectrum get its own justice and "High Score" Theme is just beatiful, I only critize the Thomson MO5 because I have a phobia to things like the backgrounds and the colors are a little bad
I don't know if it's just the emulation, but the Apple II GS version sounds like it's underwater.
I loved the C64 version back then.
I LOVE THE C64 VERSION!!
The best look and sound.
I loved it, but only with a PADDLE controller. It sucked ass with a joystick. Personally I liked Krakout more on the C64
@@scottbreon9448 Maybe my memory tricks me, but I seem to recall there were fewer upgrades on the C64. I'm not sure they had the multiple balls upgrade and the shooter upgrade.
Krakout though, had a TON of zany upgrades.
@@Mnnvint You are wrong... C64 version had all the upgrades of the arcade, in fact is the most accurate port.
Other than some being choppier than I would prefer I don't think any of these ports of Arkanoid are actually too bad. Seems to have been a game that got some TLC from it's conversion programmers. That is except for the far more recent DS version which is, to put it plainly, utterly vile.
Even the Amstrad, which I never cared for as a system seems to have come up with the goods here with a smashing version.
Thanks about the Amstrad CPC comment. It's nice to hear praise for a game on it fron someone not into the computer itself. And yeah it's a great version. Used to play it loads as a kid (got it in a pack of 20 games on 4 tapes for 99 pence, bargain!) and yes I agree about the DS game. I wonder if it takes some special kind of skill to make a modern version of a game look a million times worse than the almost 30 year old version.
Carnivac I've never had an easy relationship with the CPC. A couple of friends had them when I was a kid and at the time it seemed to be a continual let down, with "an amstrad version" becoming slang with us for a wretched game port.
More recently though I've had a chance to see the CPC at it's best and although I don't think my youthful opinion of the system's game catalogue was totally wrong, it was certainly unfair. I now feel it got a rotten deal from many of it's game developers who often didn't seem to know nor care how to use the hardware to it's full, and sometimes impressive potential.
@@Carnivius_Prime why the hell does everyone hate the ds version dude I love it
Mostly for the soundtrack
I just think it's amusing that Taito was the first one to come up with a little blue pill that lengthens things.
OK. The good old Amiga version Looked a lot better than the rest compined =)
Friggin tablet. The coco 2 version is with the 3 you showed. Also would have been cool to show Snes Arkanoid even if its kind of a sequel. And has mouse support.
You played the Commodore 64 version with a joystick, right? That game is so much more awesome when played with paddles. It's basically unplayable with a joystick...
0:48 but Arkanoid itself is a clone of breakout. You sure most of those references are not to breakout?
tfw can't find a working Macintosh Arkanoid disk image.
Sadly you didnt show the Color Computer 2 version which is witn th
The few times in life I have run into a cab of Arkanoid, it has drawn me in to play, cannot be helped. I had to satisfy that urge by owning the NES versions of 1 and 2, the Wiiware Plus, and the PS1 version of Returns. I have yet to run into a Doh It Again cab and I definitely don't expect to run into a Returns cab as it and it's PS1 port were both Japan only.
The official sequel was called "Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh".
WinApe. Remember ! There were several models of Amstrad as well. Perhaps the model I used was lass capable than the one You remember.
the mac one is really impressive
ua-cam.com/video/Cc8IBk_6xGU/v-deo.html this version if u skip halfway thru the video you see the level moves around kinda cool
what about arkanoid returns for the arcade?
I'll note it.. as for All the versions ... I can try.
Хоть С64 у меня никогда не было,но его звуки в играх вызывают четкую ностальгию почему то 😁
И версия неплохая на нем Арканоида,а вот для DOS могли бы и лучше сделать или переиздать игру,а улучшенном виде.
А так примерно как и ожидал выглядят все версии,ну правда для DS это издевательство над игрой просто,с этими двумя экранами,ужас)
I think "Arkanoid" should be made into a movie!
Arcade 0:55 and Amstrad 6:29 are the best far far away.
Cool
(My Favorite versions)
Apple ][: Tuturuuu turururu......turu.....LOL and it's great is colorful, it has good sound, and it's simply good
AMSTRAD: Emulation get that dowgraded FPS in original machine that never happen
ZX Spectrum: I love the ''High Score'' music...its amazing how sound
Commodore 64: It's really nice...don't know why you just get those 2 power ups
Atari 8BIT: Love the ''lose'' sound, also really nice with some paddle action
DOS: The best graphically...and how many parodies come to my head with that start music...lol
NEC PC88: Sadly this machine never come out to out of the world...still one of the best of ports
Tandy CoCo: Just great for be on the mighty CoCo
MSX: You are playing with some slow function? this is 3 times faster
Macintosh: Love...love...that sound when you hit a block it's vibrant and feels really nice...and this wins on 1 graphic...it has the best Sprite when you get the ''L'' Power up...simply the best sprite
Atari ST: Sounds not totally correct...still good
AMIGA: Just nostalgic...
Apple ][GS: The best por out there
+MetalSonicodraco7342 A7800 looks neat...hopefully we can use a Paddle for play it
Are you kidding me???????
The apple II and msx are horrible 16 colors but prefer the msx version had close arcade and nes version.
sorry my english is bad ok no :P
La versión de amiga y c64 geniales pero me sorprendió la del atari 7800, es bastante buena
Keiichi Morisato Son ports decentes o no sabes de comparación??
"Let's Compare (Parodius Da!)" please?
I know there's the arcade, SNES, NES, PC Engine, X68000, Gameboy, and PS1/Saturn versions.
It sounds like a great idea for a video, although it's pretty obscure in America.
I had the same thought.. but apparently it's normal.
Agreed, it seems youth can't take old things as serious as new things.
O_o lol Gonna finish up that remake one day. lol
There wasn't an arkanoid on gameboy. But there was Alleyway.
No Archimedes version shown, that's a pity.
Oh look, a bug on the Atari 7800 16:15
So the Mac version allowed powerups to spawn even if you had multiple balls on screen? I thought that wasn't supposed to happen.
My partner. I'm so happy with them that I do a plug for them. :)
Bring the arcade home! Remember the arcades filled with video games? Relive that experience in your home. We offer new arcade machines loaded with 60 classic arcade games. Check it out at www.classicarcadewarehouse.com
Classic game. I love the CPC version (the scrolling text intro with the starfield and great music feels quite dramatic). The DS version is by far the worst. Looks so cheap and nasty like they just didn't care.
Agree the CPC version was excellent there are a lot of C64 people on here saying the C64 version was the best and most of them prob never even played the CPC version fanbois lol
I had this on the NES and came with a controler but I fucked it up try to adjust the sensitivity :*(
Me too, mine couldn't scroll all the way left and right.
Strange, it should bs Tandy coco, not trs-80 color
Atari 800 version looks so Cute 😁
wheres that 3d isometric arkanoid just like the picture! 🤣
Great observation ! Did You ever notice that in the matrix when Neo is presented with the pills the Blue pill looks like a NyQuil & puts You back to sleep. & the red pill looks like a DayQuil & wakes You up ?
Arkanoid was good, but I only liked it in the arcades. For the computer I preferred Impact.
Amiga looks the best
Out of all the ports showed here the only one id ever played,was the nes version.Very playable to long as ya have the paddle controller ~_^
Disappointed... there needs to be a 3D rendered version like on the thumbnail!
worst for these 3 things
SFX: apple II
graphics: apple II again
colors: if i really had to choose i'd say thompson M05
J Waughtal Graphics Apple II? are you kidding? (Im not AII Fan) but are you serious? also for SFX you choose Apple II...what a joke...
19 versions?
crazy huh ?
Tengo la version GIGANOID para AMIGA.... Tan insuperable como el ARCANOID. Sonido y suavidad de movimiento con el raton. Este tipo de juegos no es tan divertido y preciso si no solamente con raton o paddles. Me sorprende la version del Tandy TRS-80 muy buena, aunque se nota que el movimiento de la paleta es con su joystick que entorpece un poco el juego.
C64 is the favorite one :)
For the music only?
C64/Amiga for the overall arcade feeling. I just picked up a scrap find NES and I'm sad to admit I haven't found a single game I find attractive enough to play on it. Still wondering why NES is so overhyped by today's kids and nobody knows what an Amiga even is.
The Arcade version is the reference ok, so the 16-bits Computers Amiga 500 & Atari St 500 was the best ones of the 1980's & early 1990's with a sligthly favor for the Amiga :)
Œskblad trust me i know how you feel, I wanted a Amiga 500 for Christmas 1987 but received a nes instead, i didn't even know what a nes was but i knew commodore from the c64.
Murutattack had a ridiculously good sound chip for 8 bit computer
Viewing this game is only a small part. This game NEEDS analog controls to be really good. So anything without analog (mouse or analog joystick) is automatically dropped a bit. Of those with analog, my favorite is the Amiga version. Great control. Although I preferred MegaBall on the Amiga for the ball/paddle game. ;-)
8 bit: Amstrad/Commodore
16 bit: Amiga
LOL at 12:05 Player enters name on scoreboard "ASSHAT" !!
(Sorry if thats been mentioned already btw)
I can only play this game with a mouse. I suck with the paddle.
My opinions on these:
1. Arcade: Well, its the arcade, it must be the best.
2. Apple II: The sound and colours are really bad :/ I think Apple II wasn't graphically capable enough.
3. Thomson MO5: Looks just unplayable.
4. Amstrad CPC: Great colours and sound!
5. ZX Spectrum: While not sounding the best I'd say its my favourite home port. Its simple in a great way and very playable.
6. BBC Micro: Nice port, but I think the colours and sound are off.
7. C64: While the sound is stellar I really don't like how tight everything is and C64 colour palette in general.
8. Atari 800 XE: This is wrong in so many ways.
9. Atari 7800: Pretty much the definition of a homebrew :/ It could be much better.
10. MS DOS: The PC Speaker is not doing well here...
11. MSX: Pretty much the BBC port but with better sound.
12. PC-8801: Better graphics, worse sound than previous.
13. TRS-80 Color: Great visuals, nothing to say about the sound.
14. Macintosh: This game CAN'T look good on B/W screen.
15. NES: Same as BBC Micro.
16. Atari ST: Nice visuals, not so good sound.
17. Amiga: Same as previous, but better.
18. Apple II GS: Same as previous two, but better ;)
19. DS: Nope. Far too different from the original. Looks just wrong.
It is an emulator. It's called Desmume. It's not flawless By no means but it's the best I've tried.
