Arkanoid is an action game series from Taito based on Atari's Breakout series. Players maneuver a paddle in an attempt to keep a bouncing ball from falling into a hole while also trying to destroy tiles at the top of the screen by hitting them with the ball. The Arkanoid introduced several elements that have become staples to the genre including power-up capsules, wandering enemies, and bosses.
