Arkanoid Returns (a.k.a. Arkanoid 4) is an arcade game released by Taito in 1997 as the last in the Arkanoid series. This Playstation game is a conversion from that classic Arcade game.

The enemy known as 'DOH' still did not get the message and after many years of silence decides to attack once again. The 'Vaus' space vessel better be ready to face new, yet familiar challenges, in order to stop 'DOH' for the last time. Features 50 levels of revamped graphics and sound, the same gameplay as its predecessors, as well as plenty of power-ups to try out.

Game modes:
- Arcade: The same as the arcade version
- Edit: Create your own missions
- Extra: Both players share the same lives and the game have other new features.
- Squash: The players alternate each hit to the ball, when one player hit it he can't hit it again until the other player hit it.

Arkanoid R 2000 is fundamentally Arkanoid Returns. Indeed, it's all Arkanoid Returns: same graphics, same levels, same sounds. The only differences are an improved control system with the Namco Paddle Controller (but also with mouse) and the support of the dual shock.
