I have slowly been bringing my favorite games home for our new game room,
Phoenix, Space Invaders, DK, etc...
My kids love Chicken Shift but getting my wife Paige to play anything has always been a challenge.
In all my years I have never owned an Arkanoid. Just never appealed to me.
After a recent visit to barcade my wife got hooked on Arkanoid.

Does arkanoid save high scores? Is there a hi score save kit available?

Mine is a stargate conversion and it does not save scores,dont know if a kit is available but mine gets no play anyways :(
 
mattosborn used to sell an Arkanoid II: Revenge of DoH high score save kit. Worked great. Not sure if he still does, or got to making one for the original Arkanoid...

He still sells them. I have it and it's great, but the only downside is that Ark II let's you continue and keeps the score going. I had a nice high score and let my niece play while I was doing something else. She keep continuing and killed my high score.
 
There is a reason Arkanoid beat out hundreds of other games to be on the top 50 list. It's addicting, simple, colorful, and exiting. Wish it had a dedi cab though.
My wife is hooked on the game. She plays the shit out of it every night on her iPhone.
 
If the family doesn't dig Arkanoid, bring it into the shop :)

Yeah, that would be motivation for Zack Hample to show up.

Arkanoid is one of the classic games women tend to like. (Along with Ms. Pac-man, Centipede, Puzzle Bobble, etc.).

Arkanoid and R.O.D. is a party pleaser, especially among women, and especially the cocktail conversion. I got 3 women addicted to the game. I ended up selling it to a friend and his wife (one of the addicted ones), and another friend ended up getting an Arkanoid standup after his wife played the cocktail at my house for hours. I sold the cocktail R.O.D. it in favor of the standup version I found and fixed up (ended up being nicer than the cocktail). Come to find out later that my wife was way more of a fan of the cocktail one than the standup, as it hardly gets played except for at parties. :(

IMO, Millipede seems to be too difficult for many of the women that try it. My wife likes Centipede better, so I see a Braze kit in my future.

Wife also likes Ms. Pac, but not as much as Eyes. Hence, an Eyes cocktail is being worked on.
