Actually the sequel to Arkanoid is Revenge of Doh, which came out in arcades and some consoles and PCs. Doh it Again is probably the third game in the series, unless you count the American made Tournament Arkanoid.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is the game that got me into Ridge Racer games, too. I wanted it when it first came out, but I was just about to graduate college then so I waited for a bit. I found it on sale new at a flea market for only five bucks a year or so later. Retro game buying was a lot different then. Anyway, I liked R4 so much that I went and bought all the previous RR games and bought all the new ones after. R4 is still the best one, even though the PS2 one and PSP one are still really good. Only one I didn't get was Ridge Racer Unbounded because that's not really a Ridge Racer game. I like the Ridge Racer lady (Reiko Nagase) for some reason. Not sure why. One time I had a weird dream that I worked for Namco, and some of the people in the office were game characters, too. On my first day of work there the first two people I made friends with were the Ridge Racer lady and Dig Dug. Yeah you'd think I'd make friends with Pac-Man first, but that's how the dream went!
I think in Robotron 64, you can hook up two controllers and use one analog stick to move and the other to aim and shoot!
Aw man, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is not a good rental game. Like Animal Crossing, they only let you do so much in a day. But at least you got to play it and see why I gave it such high marks, especially for Animal Crossing fans.
I love Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders. I like how some of the characters you can use as assists are from other Taito games. I reviewed it a few years ago.
