Retro streams arkanoid returns arcade
Arkanoid Returns is an arcade game released by Taito Corporation in February 1997 as part of the Arkanoid series. It was the fourth overall, and third to be released in arcades. The game was quickly ported to the PlayStation, with an updated home release being released afterwards titled Arkanoid R 2000. Although the game is very hard to find outside Japan, a "worldwide" release of the arcade version does exist.

Description
The enemy known as 'DOH' still did not get the message and after many years of silence decides to attack once again. The 'Vaus' space vessel better be ready to face new, yet familiar challenges, in order to stop 'DOH' once again.
The gameplay remains similar to Arkanoid: Doh it Again, the previous game in the series released for the Super NES, in that it features the same powerups (with the addition of the brown "G" Giga Ball), some re-used level designs, and the same board size. The initial arcade game contains only 50 levels, the environment changing every 9 levels. Unlike past Arkanoid titles, Returns has no bosses to confront. The PlayStation (Returns and R2000) re-releases add 150 additional stages, bringing the total to 200, with bosses on several levels. This release also contained a level editor.
