Arkanoid fucking cheats!

It is a rat BASTARD of a game. It is a miserable, skeeving, cheating bitch and you should only reconcile with it long enough to tie it to the bedpost and shit on its chest. Don't even get me started on the sequel. The Revenge of Doh is obvious: collision detection between your platform and the ball will simply be ignored whenever it suits that horrible game. The original is playable but filthy.

I've NOT HAD this experience. I submit that you've possibly got your analog sensitivity/digital acceleration set to numbers that are producing these bad results. Frames being skipped, pixels being skipped, etc. You should play around with these numbers some more before writing off Arkanoid. Consider that everyone isn't crazy and you're the only sane one.
