What a sensational game. God bless you, Abandonia.

Yeah, this game takes me back to those frosty mornings of '89 when I used to try and get a few goes in before school. I had Arkanoid II Revenge of Doh on the Atari 520ST - but I'm not sure if that download is available on this site.

Is it me, or are these mind-numbingly simple games way more addictive than virtually anything that we get nowadays? (Just read that back and realised that I just sound like an old, old man.) I've been playing this version for the past day, happily getting panned again and again at around level 10, although I really miss version II. The best thing about the sequel was the pink 'cheesecutter' block - that was so much fun, watching the ball slice through everything. Still, I get much joy from challenging my PC, the dubious descendant of the Atari; late at night we face off, and do battle in the ancient tradition (?). In true keeping with history, I never do very well.

Anyways, just wanted to pay my own personal tribute to this game. Keep up the good work Abandonia!
