"Arkanoid on the CPC is better than any other home computer version. Proper screen-ratio, excellent sound, graphics and gameplay. Perfect in every way!!!"

"Hitting or breaking blocks with a ball never seemed to enthus game players but then comes Arkanoid and everything changes.... for the better a simple and ordinary gaming idea made into a good game and cpc version rocked!!!!"

"You`d have to try pretty hard to mess up a game as simple as this and Imagine didn`t. I can`t really fault this conversion (apart from the ever-so-slightly iffy collision-detection, or is that me?), so 9/10 it is, then."
