Bananoid is "A VGA only freeware package from BDI" Arkanoid clone, which runs on a tweaked VGA mode the author likes to call 360x240 MCGA. It features seven levels that span two screens for a total resolution of 544x240, according to the manual.

William Rieder describes his creation Bananoid quite fittingly as a ‘wall-block-paddle-pill game’ with which he wanted to demonstrate that MCGA graphics work on DOS machines. And that is exactly what you get, nothing more and nothing less: A nice looking Breakout clone – or as the name already implies rather one of Arkanoid. To some this might be actual proof that back in the late 80ies the capabilities of PC graphics were underused and underestimated (most DOS games of that era where still stuck in EGA or even CGA mode), to others it plays like one of the hardest games of its kind.
