awesome original game. some imitators don't seem to have the 'left-right' directional sides of the paddle.

I have Super Break Out and I liked how they bult a story around such a simple and fun concept.

There was a NASA Astronaut who was returning to his base from a routine resource transport mission, when on the way back he spots what seems like a never ending rainbow barrier. And with his life support systems failing he must break through the barrier as quick as possible so he could get back to his base. It was pretty cool. There was even a book and record based on this.

The first Breakout sucks because it ends after you clear the 2nd board. Super Breakout goes for as long as you can keep playing.

that game you said that starts with an A. I think it's ariknord or something well it's for the NES

An emulator will do it justice. All you have to do is get an adapter that will allow you to use Atari paddles or controllers. Not a bad video man. But I honestly never much cared for this game.

I'd love to see an Arkanoid review. It was indeed released on several consoles, including the NES, C64 and Amiga.
