Arkanoid - Versions Comparison (HD 60 FPS)

that intro was very creative, dude

[@TheTenthArt]

I love this game. The montage you made in the Intro was fantastic. Kudos!

The Spectrum is surprisingly good

I was about the post the exact same comment. :)

For once... :-)

And simulates analog controls by speeding up the ship when it's far from the ball. Not everyone like it, but for me at least, the playability was amazing and fun

[@ZeroZingo]

@@felipegcs I was going to mention this as well, very good port, which I did played to the end back in the day.

[@retrosutra]

I enjoyed this version a lot. Nice port, I agree with you.

[@Supermann64]

Oh yes this a real classic,this brings back memorys. Thank you :)

[@rvounik]

So many surprises here, including the intro.. well done! And that c64 music is so out of place, yet so awesome!

[@reillywalker195]

I've only ever played _Arkanoid Plus_ on the Wii out of all the games in the series, but the original looks like a great game, too, and all of its ports look at least playable.

[@steuph1976]

I mostly played the Amstrad CPC version which wasn’t the best but I was impressed by the vertical overscan. Many versions here I didn’t know of. I love how the black and white Macintosh version looks !

[@ivarfiske1913]

I love the Amstrad version, but I also find the Coco 1/2 version refreshingly different

[@therealbluedragon]

Seems as long as the ball and paddle movement is smooth it would be perfectly playable.

[@solidsnake3842]

¡Gran juego, si señor! Yo tenia (y tengo) la versión a C-64 y se me han saltado las lágrimas...

[@neindochoohh7955]

I just love Arkanoid :) played it for 35 yrs now

[@latronix-omnigenus]

Mobile (2023): Boring vector based graphics made in Unity where you watch 30 second videos after each stage to get double the coins, and in order to upgrade your paddle you can buy through microtransactions a $9.99 pack that gives you 100 diamonds you can use to change your paddle's color. For $99.99 you can get a paddle that covers the entire screen and you can't lose.

[@andyhodgson7692]

Sound is amazing on the Commodore 64. If I remember correctly it was criticised by some people at the time because the laser pick up doesn't come down often enough.

[@Hexagonaal]

That would explain why it took so long to get through a level. Never really played it because of that. The video is even skipping parts of the C64 gameplay because it takes so long :-)

@@Sinistar1983 Great console but Atari just fucked it up with that retarded 2600 backwards compatibility. Seriously, if they didn't bother with that and tried to compete with the NES/SMS, maybe we would live in an era where we grew up on a 7800 and not on an NES.

the AppleIIGS is pretty good, how does it control?

[@noelsaw]

Was there 2 versions for the Atari ST? I remember the version I had was by Imagine but the on here didn’t have that credit on the right side.

Maybe you're confusing with Arkanoid : Revenge of Doh?

@@iXien I just realized the European ST version is published by Imagine so it has their logo and Peter Johnson’s (developer’s) name on the right side of the screen.

[@elijahvincent985]

Anybody else notice the typo in the Atari ST version? "Tatio"?

There's a homebrew version for the VIC-20 called Arukanoido

[@lucianothewindowsfan]

14:09 I know this is sold in France, but why it is in French?

[@lucianothewindowsfan]

Also, the MSX is laggy.

[@steuph1976]

Because it was published under license from Ocean by FIL, a French publisher mostly doing things for Thomson computers, including a lot of educational software, it was actually partly owned by Thomson for a while. They published Thomson ports of quite a few games also licensed from Ocean/Imagine, I remember Green Beret and I think Yie Are Kung Fu. And so all of these ports were in French. FIL, like most things related to the Thomson train wreck, collapsed in 1988.

The C64 version had great playability & a fantastic Martin Galway music suite, which was the title music, all the ditties, and gane finishing music. The original arcade version looks and sounds the best, but was incredibly hard.

[@tygattyche2545]

I think we do all agree that the C64 version has the best overall acoustic, don't we? But have to admit that some versions have some (to me) surprisingly good sound effects, espacially the CPC and the Mac versions. And WTF..? In this one video here i saw more lasers dropped in non-c64 versions than i saw (and got) in all the years i played the c64 version..

[@rolingthunder8612]

there was almost a different c64 port that was developped by firebird, but due to a lawsute between taito and atari (which the former obviously won) it was never released as atari was to pubblish it. this opened the door for Ocean software (who already had a relationship with taito creating ports of their other arcade games) buying the rights from right under Firebird's noses. firebird's port is currently said to be lost.
