Arkanoid is an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986. It expanded upon Atari's Breakout games of the 1970s by adding power-ups, different types of bricks, and a variety of level layouts. The title refers to a doomed "mothership" from which the player's ship, the Vaus, escapes.

Core memory: squeezing in as much playtime as I could while waiting for my dad to finish ordering dinner at Satellite Burgers.
Adding powerups to Breakout instantly made this the definitive version of the game. The additional variety in levels was just more icing on the cake.
90% of this game is waiting for your meandering ball to eventually win the angle lottery and hit one of the last few bricks (repeat multiple times in every stage) unless you won the other simultaneously-occurring lottery of getting a Laser powerup (which is frequently useless as certain stages have smugly placed a fortress of unbreakable bricks in front of the bricks you need to hit).
