The 1986 arcade classic first saw its way to the home via the Commodore Amiga in 1987. Graphically at least identical, perhaps with a tiny bit more polish, the sounds arguably better as well, though sadly no paddles. Taking the Breakout concept to such higher levels that the games that came after were called Arkanoid clones instead of Breakout ones. Also one of the first titles I ever remember playing on the Amiga. My review for a classic arcade and Amiga title.
