Relive the catchy, iconic audio and nostalgic sound effects of Taito's 1986 arcade sensation Arkanoid!

Designed as a modern, high-tech revival of the classic paddle-and-ball genre, Arkanoid captivated arcades worldwide with its smooth spinner controls, power-up capsules, brick-breaking action, and the mysterious alien boss entity, DOH.

The memorable soundtrack and sound design were composed by Hisayoshi Ogura (founding member of Taito's legendary in-house band, ZUNTATA). Using the Yamaha YM2151 sound chip, Ogura crafted short, energetic jingles and distinct synth effects that became instantly recognizable to any 80s arcade visitor.
