Summary

Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh, often just called Revenge of Doh, builds on the original brick‑breaker formula with a handful of clever twists. After you clear a stage or snag the Break (B) pill, two "Warp Gates" pop up at the bottom, letting you pick which version of the next level you’ll face – a simple choice that reshapes the whole play‑through. The power‑up system also got a makeover: the fire button only lights up when you catch a Laser Cannon (L) or a Catch (C) pill, keeping the action focused on timing.

The brick palette is where the game really shows its personality. Notched silver bricks act like tough nuts, taking several hits and then magically regenerating after a short pause, while a set of moving bricks slide left‑right unless something blocks them. The US arcade layout even starts you off with a whole line of those notched bricks, and the colored bricks above them sway side‑to‑side for extra chaos.

A quirky mini‑boss – a giant brain on round 17 – gives you a taste of the final showdown, and the home ports even tossed in a level editor so you could craft your own challenges (except the brain and the DOH boss stages).

Storyline

Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh (often just called Revenge of Doh) pits the player back behind the Vaus paddle as the mysterious enemy DOH returns to exact revenge on the space vessel. The game challenges you to survive 34 rounds, which are selected from a larger pool of 64 possible stages. Around midway, round 17 throws a giant brain mini‑boss into the mix, testing reflexes and strategy. The climax pits the player against DOH in two distinct forms: first a statue‑like incarnation, then a tentacled creature that regenerates each time it’s hit. Defeating both forms finally puts an end to DOH’s vengeance.
