Arkanoid - Revenge of Doh (a.k.a Arukanoido 2) is an arcade game released by Taito in 1987 as a sequel to Arkanoid.
[edit] Description
"The mysterious enemy known as 'DOH' has returned to seek vengeance on the 'Vaus' space vessel". The player must once again take control of the Vaus (paddle) and overcome many challenges in order to destroy DOH once and for all. Revenge of Doh sees the player battle through 30 rounds. Revenge of Doh differs from its predecessor with the introduction of 'Warp Gates'. Upon completion of a level, two gates appear at the bottom of the play area, on either side. The player can choose to go through either one of the gates - the choice will affect which version of the next level is provided. The fire-button is only used when the Laser ('L') or Catch ('C') pod is caught.
