The bulk of [[Hisayoshi Ogura]] songs for Arkanoid are just short jingles, but he did compose a proper song for those few skilled players who are able to beat the game and see the ending. The game also has an unused jingle in the ROM which doesn't appear to be played anywhere in the game.

Arkanoid
Arkanoid - ARC - USA.jpg
Platform: Arcade
Year: 1986
Developer: Taito Corporation
For other games in the series see Arkanoid.

Arkanoid is an action ball-bouncing game built on the theme originally designed by Atari's Breakout. You control a paddle (a spaceship named "Vaus") at the bottom of the screen by turning a dial rather than a directional joystick. With the paddle, you must bounce a ball toward a wall of "bricks" at the top of the screen. Each hit breaks a brick, and when they're all broken, you move to the next stage. However, if you miss the ball with your paddle, you lose a life.

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.
