[edit] Arkanoid Clones 1987/88

Impact

The software company Audiogenic also released versions of “Impact” on the BBC B and the Acorn Electron microcomputers, back in 1987. These versions of “Impact” can be down loaded from the website - http://www.stairwaytohell.com/

Audiogenic went on to release versions for the IBM PC and the Amstrad CPC in 1988. According to lemon64.com & worldofspectrum.org, Audiogenic didn’t release “Impact”, on the ZX-Spectrum or the Commodore 64, until 1988.

Pulsoid

Mastertronic, the British software company that first released Pulsoid on the Commodore 64, also released Pulsoid on the ZX-Spectrum & Amstrad cpc in 1988.

Giganoid

Released on the Amiga in 1988 by Swiss Computer Arts according to the Lemon Amiga website - http://www.lemonamiga.com/

Meganoid

I can't find any other reference to this game anywhere, outside this wikipedia webpage. Perhaps Meganoid is meant to be Giganoid?

The Breaker

This game was also known as "Brick Breaker" on the ZX Spectrum. On some websites, the game is archived as simply "Breaker" or, back to front, "Breaker: The".

[edit] Which came first: Arkanoid or Gigas?

Arkanoid and Gigas were both released in the year 1986. Would anyone happen to know which one came out first as well as the release dates of both? Metrackle 00:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
