Abandonware DOS title

Arkanoid

Arkanoid is a classic arcade video game that was first released in 1986 by Taito. It is a breakout-style game, which means that the primary objective is to break a wall of bricks or blocks by bouncing a ball off a paddle at the bottom of the screen. The game takes its name and inspiration from Atari's Breakout, which was released in the 1970s. Arkanoid has been released on various gaming platforms, including arcade cabinets, home consoles, and personal computers. The game's success led to numerous sequels and adaptations over the years, each with its own unique twists and features.
