I hated Arkanoid and didn't really get the appeal of it at all for probably the first hundred games or so. After that though it started giving me that Zen-like trance I get from only a few games, only a lot more intense. I can get so lost in it that when I miss the ball it's like being startled awake.

And I've said it before and I will say it again: a non-"high resolution" spinner works JUST FINE...

Two opinions you're welcome to have.  But people who disagree with the first probably disagree with the second.

Some people don't mind a 400x300 picture zoomed in to fill the screen; others demand a 1600x1200 (or whatever their screen is) or nothing.  Some don't mind the non-high res spinners on high res games; others... do mind.

If you liked the original game and it's controls, you'll need a high res spinner; otherwise you'll be playing with the 400x300 pixelated spinner on the 1600x1200 game.


IMO, while you might be able to play arkanoid okay with low-res spinners, it's not the same, and not as well, as with a high res spinner.  If you can't tell the difference, then, sure, you don't need the HRS.  If you can tell, and it matters to you, then get the HRS.

Makes sense of course, if you love the game than absolute authenticity is paramount.
For me, Defender/Stargate control placement MUST BE EXACT (not a big deal to a lot of people), so I see what you mean.
I am just surprised so many people who aren't selling high-res spinners love Arkanoid.
I wonder if it's Andy's favorite game? ;)

I think Arkanoid is an awesome game.  That's why I'm building a cab with 3 arkanoid boards in it.
