[edit] Arkanoid Clones 1987/88

Impact

[edit] Ataroid

Ataroid was published as a type in programme, within the May 1988 issue of "Atari Magazin" (Pages 58-61). Atari Magazin was the German variant of the old "MYAtari" magazine.

The PDF version of Atari Magazin of that issue can be viewed online -http://www.strotmann.de/twiki/pub/Infothek/AmMaiEightEight/am88_5.pdf

[edit] Arkanoid clones

I've moved the list of Arkanoid clones to Breakout clones, since there's obviously a lot of crossover. If it makes anyone feel better, that article could be renamed to 'Breakout and Arkanoid clones'. In any case, the list requires referencing; it's original research as it stands. Marasmusine 21:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EU/Release Dates

Why are we listing the EU under release dates? The EU wasn't formed until 1992. I'd suggest Western Europe or the European Economic Community (EEC). 142.27.158.254 (talk) 14:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arkanoid French Port

As well as being ported to many American, Japanese and British home computers, Arkanoid was also ported, very competently, to French home computers in 1987, the Thomson 8-bit series, by James Higgins.
