[edit] NES

The Famicom and NES conversion is probably considered one of the most interesting conversion made, for a couple of reasons. First, it is the only version that contained all 33 stages, as well as three extra bonus stages exclusive to this version, which appeared before the final confrontation with DOH.

Second, it came packaged with an exclusive controller, one that could only be used for Arkanoid (and Arkanoid 2 which was only released in Japan.) It was a paddle controller with a dial on the bottom and a button at the top. The dial has a fixed rotation, but the small lid to the right could be lifted and you could use a screwdriver to fine tune the output range of the dial. It was a grayish beige in America and mostly black in Japan. Due to its lack of use with any other game, it is considered one of the rarest NES controllers to come by.

There are two codes for the game:

Stage Select	When a level first appears on the screen, press and hold and tap or hold . This will only work up to Stage 17.
Continue	At the game over screen, press and hold + and pres five times. Then release the buttons and press .
