NCS
Product Synopsis
Update: April 7, 2006
«©NCSX» In the beginning, there
was Breakout. Over a decade
passed before Taito used the
game as inspiration for Arkanoid
which added power-ups and
enemies to the block breaking
action. After Arkanoid refreshed
and energized the
ball-meet-brick genre, Taito
released a few more Arkanoids
and inspired other developers to
to do the same with Goindol
hitting the arcades along with
hundreds of retail/shareware/freeware clones
released on the PC, Amiga, and
other computer platforms of the
late 80s. The Europeans were
particularly taken with the Arkanoid craze. As subscribers
to all of the UK magazines back
in the day such as Zzap 64 and
The Games Machine, NCS staffers
can attest to the Arkanoid
feeding frenzy in Europe at the
time.
Recently, Taito's D3 Publisher subsidiary has kept the Arkanoid flame burning with its popular Block Kuzushi series which has sold over 450,000 copies on the Playstation, PS2, NDS, and PSP.
Seven mythical monsters and their underlings are wrecking the peace in the world. They must be stopped and a single champion takes to the skies on a mission of destruction. By invading and smashing the destructive beasts on their home turf, our heroic dragon works to bring peace back in the world. It won't be easy however and much skill and deft handling is required to attack enemies and fend off their counterattacks.
