I'm liking Arkanoid, but it's far too simplistic and shallow. Are there any brick breakers with actual depth and mechanics?

dx ball 2 is widely considered the best of the genre

There have been many, but I think the Arkanoid, especially the one on the SNES is the best, especially with the mouse. The SNES mouse is surprisingly good and precise. I was impressed and use it exclusively for almost every game that utilizes it.

Arkanoid II on the IIgs is an amazing feat. Sadly that system was cluttered by lots of edutainment shovelware and half assed garbage but it has some real gems that really use the IIgs and Arkanoid II is one of them. Probably my favorite Arkanoid version of all time, it has all kinds of everything you need but nothing you don't.

You can't go wrong with Blasterball 2

BreakQuest is pretty cool. I wouldn't call it deep and I didn't care to play through it more than once, but it certainly does fun things with mechanics.

this isn't related to ball busting specifically but i figured i'll ask here instead of making another thread
are there any plugins for MAME/Stella that allow me to use a logitech racing wheel as a paddle controller?

try thunder and lightning on the NES. it has a very much refined NES-like gameplay, good controls and lots of extras like rockets, double-rockets, extra lifes etc, plays very good

What is it about block stacking and block breaking that tickles our brains?
