1. Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arkanoid was developed by the Taito Corporation as a clone of the popular Atari
game Break Out. This game has you controlling a ship whose mission is to break
a multitude of colorful blocks to advance to the next round. Sounds simple in
premise but Arkanoid was one of the most difficult games of the period and
remains so to this day.
One or two players control the ships as they move right and left across the
bottom of the screen while attempting to bounce a ball back up to the blocks
above. To better control the ship the game featured a pack in controller dubbed
the Vaus Controller which featured a wheel you would turn to the left or right
to control the ship. The goal is to clear the level of the blocks and advance
to the next stage while competing for points in two player all cultivating in
the final boss battle.
What looks like a simple Pong rip-off is actually a fun game and a rare one at
that; an original cart and Vaus controller can bring a pretty penny in good
condition. While difficultly might take the place of length it can still be
enjoyed to this day.

Game Mechanics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the included game manual:
Their earth-like planet was devastated by a brutal attack of aliens. The
survivors roam the galaxy on their photon spaceship Arkanoid in search of a
new home. The Arkanoid is attacked and the survivors barely escape in the Vaus
spacecraft. Instead of finding safety, they are now trapped in a deadly space
labyrinth.
If they are to be saved, you must summon all your courage and skill to shatter
the space walls and defeat the merciless enemy forces!
From the game:
The Era and time of this story are unknown. After the mothership "Arkanoid" was
destroyed, a spacecraft "Vaus" scrambled away from it...
But only to be trapped in space warped by someone...
Arkanoid is short on story to say the least eh?
The game has a simple idea behind it. Your main goal is to control the paddle
which is actually a spacecraft named Vaus to destroy the blocks that someone is
using to block your way. Clear each round to advance to the next.
To help you along the way is a small arsenal of items that do everything from
increase the length of Vaus to equipping the ship to shoot lasers that can
destroy the blocks. Arkanoid can be played alone or with a friend using any
combination of NES controllers and\or Vaus controllers. Try to get more points
then the other player!
~~~~~~~~
Controls
~~~~~~~~
D-Pad: used to control Vaus left or right if you don't use the Vaus Controller.
[A]: Fires the lasers you can get from items and also launches the ball from
Vaus.
[B]: Not used
Start: Used to confirm choice on main menu and to pause the game.
Select: Moves cursor on the main menu.
Vaus control wheel: turn it left or right to move Vaus. How much and how fast
you move the wheel correlates to the ship on screen.
Vaus action button: Fires the lasers you can get from items and also launches
the ball from Vaus.

3. Blocks, Capsules and Debris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
Blocks
~~~~~~
Arkanoid features 10 different color blocks that you will come across in any of
the 35 rounds. Each color is worth a different amount of points when destroyed
and some require a changing amount of hits to destroy or even none at all. The
chart below details the info you need to know.
~~Color~~~~~~~~~~Pts~~~~~~~~~~~~Hits~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| White 50 1 hit |
| Orange 60 1 hit |
| Lt. Blue 70 1 hit |
| Green 80 1 hit |
| Red 90 1 hit |
| Blue 100 1 hit |
| Pink 110 1 hit |
| Yellow 120 1 hit |
| Silver 50 x # of level 1 hit at start; increase by 1 every 8 rounds |
| Gold 0 Can't be destroyed with any number of hits |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
Capsules
~~~~~~~~
Arkanoid features a small arsenal of items that can help you consisting of
seven different abilities. The chart below explains.....
~~Color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ability~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Dark Blue Enlarges the length of Vaus |
| Light Blue Splits the ball into three |
| Orange Slows the speed of the ball down |
| Grey Gives you an extra life(Vaus) |
| Yellow "Sticky" Vuas; catch the ball |
| Pink Opens escape route to end round early |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
Debris
~~~~~~
Debris are the pieces of the planets that were destroyed. They "spawn" from the
top of the area from gates in the boundaries. Have different effects on the
ship like wild control and difficult aiming. Destroy them simply by hitting
them with the ball like a block.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Round layouts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are diagrams that show the layout of all the rounds found in Arkanoid.
Shown in the blocks is a letter that denotes color\points: W\hite, O\range,
L\t.Blue, G\reen, R\ed, B\lue, P\ink, Y\ellow, S\ilver and g\old. An X denotes
an empty space.
Shown after each diagram is a quick run down of the points available in each
level; mainly for two player purposes.

Round Thirty-six: Boss Doh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No blocks to clear in this level just a boss named Doh. He appears like a red
floating head in the middle of the area and shoots debris at Vaus in groups of
three that follow and attempt to ram Vaus. Contact with this debris will cause
Vaus to be destroyed. To defeat Doh avoid the debris and hit him with the ball
16 times.
