A Nice Arkanoid Clone!

[EoS]

I wish someone would make a nice looking and playable arkanoid clone

Try Arcano, you can review it at my site, it think i gave it a decent review.

Just checked my site, i guess I didn't give it as good as a rating as I thought, I don't play this anymore. But there was a good one that was submitted to the ADIC competition, i think, I don't have a link, but you can try that one.

It already exists, bolcatoid is what you need.

5/10 for a cloned with very limited features and now replay value?
w000t?

You can also try the following emulated versions:
Batty - ZX Spectrum (my personal fave)
Arkanoid - NES
Arkanoid 2 - MSX

Arkanoid 2 plays quite well on OpenSNES9x also.

One of the great things about the Spectrum Batty version (although of little relevance on GP32) is that you can play simultanious 2 player so one of you can get the ball while the other rushes to pick up power ups.

I really like Bolcatoid but sometimes I find myself in a level where I keep missing the final brick for ages and then get bored so let myself die.

welll, it was a nice effort by the author, even though the game is simple and repetitive, it did look nice. I pretty much gave him a 5 for effort, had the game been the regular simple arkanoid graphics, I probably would've gave it a 3.

There are three arkanoid games on Atari ST with very nice graphics, try them on Castaway.
