Arkanoid on NES is basically Breakout, but with way more personality. You’re piloting this little spaceship paddle (the "Vaus") instead of just a boring rectangle, and the blocks you smash actually drop power-ups—some make your paddle longer, others give you lasers or sticky shots. There are even enemies floating around trying to mess you up, which keeps things tense.

It’s got that classic arcade feel—simple to pick up, but the later levels get brutal. The music’s got that weirdly catchy 8-bit synth vibe too. If you’ve ever wasted an afternoon bouncing a ball against bricks, this is the version that actually makes it feel like a proper game.
