Arkanoid (NES) game description

Taito innovated several new features to the Breakout theme which would later become staples of the genre including invincible gold bricks, monsters that roam around the screen, and capsules that grant power-ups like making your paddle bigger, breaking the ball into multiple balls, the ability to catch the ball, and so on.

Now, play Arkanoid online for free on your browser and make your boring weekend fun and full of entertainment.
