Since the game is all about arcade-style action, the ridiculousness of the story is easily forgivable and actually adds a little to its charm. So while there’s technically a story, it’s all rather silly. These spacefarers are constantly being thwarted by Doh, a malevolent Easter Island Moai head. The game follows the adventures of a spaceship looking to find new inhabitable planets. Surprisingly, Arkanoid: Doh it Again does have an in-game story. Is this arcade port worth tracking down or is it best left forgotten? Read on to find out! Story Developed by Taito and released in 1997, chances are you missed this game’s original release, since most SNES owners had already moved on to an N64 or PlayStation by then. At their worst, these ports would feel barebones and unworthy of being played on a 16-bit machine.Īrkanoid: Doh it Again was an enhanced port of the 1986 arcade original, Arkanoid. At their best, these games would feature additions and enhancements to the original arcade classic.
These ports came in the form of individual releases, like Frogger and compilations like Williams Arcade’s Greatest Hits. Towards the end of the SNES’s lifetime, many ports of classic arcade games from the early to mid 80’s began appearing for the system. While we at SNES Hub love to look back on the good old days of the Super Nintendo, it’s interesting to remember that video game nostalgia was alive and well even during the 16-bit era.
