Controller  
(submitted by: Scoots ), 11/4/2003 7:18:18 AM (edit)
This game was originally packaged with a special paddle controller. It is gray and features a black button to fire the ball, and a black dial used to move the Vaus (paddle) back and forth. The controller is rarer than the game cart itself these days, though the game can also be played with a standard NES controller.

To skip a level, wait until the opening music stops and the words on screen disappear. Then hold Start and press A .

NOTE: this only works up to Level 16.
me and my fiancee play arkanoid religously and we enjoy it immensely. my questions are: after the 60,000 point mark when do you get another free man? is there any way to manipulate the game and get more pinks and blacks? and why is level three soo difficult? it should be a level 7 or 8.

Answer This Question!
Arkanoid cart - This cart is worth much more with the specialized controller. Without the controller, the resale value tends to be in the $7-10 range.
