The Epic Challenge of Arkanoid on the NES

Arkanoid (1987) is a classic game based on a game usually referred to as "Breakout". In the game, you are a spaceship in some strange universe where you must deflect a ball of energy off of your ship and into giant bricks, which disappear once you hit them enough times. It's not really supposed to make any sense. The game itself is mildly addictive and also very difficult. It takes much practice and skill to achieve high points and level up. The controls are also very unique, as a special analog controller, known as a Vaus controller, is required to play it. And once you get a feel for the game, it's very apparent why. Overall, this game is fun. It has a two-player option and I highly recommend this game for group events. If you're interested in buying this game, having the Vaus controller is a must.

Ball Quiz:
1) What's better: More balls, or less balls?
2) On a scale of 1 to balls, how many balls is this game?
3) Legend has it that Super Mario was intended to be the original pilot of the Vaus, but was fired from the project in favor of Bomberman. However, Bomberman declined the job offer. So the question is, who was the actual final captain of the Vaus ship and how did Shigeru Miyamoto allow this disaster to unfold?
BONUS) How many balls does it take to screw in a ball bulb?

Thanks for watching Vaus Chronicles. Paddle your balls.
