What do you guys feel are the best Arkanoid clones out there? Thanks.

Uhm let's see. Do you mean that game in which you have to bounce a ball and break the bricks piled on top of the screen?

If so I like cubicle chaos free from MS.
Here is the link:

Your best bet may be to go to Pocketgear and do a search for "arkanoid" or "breakout" and start downloading trials.

Personally, the only arkanoid-type game that I've tried and purchased is Ricochet from Astraware because I'm such a huge fan of their stuff. It's got a ton of power-ups; it's very fast-paced and quite fun. You may want to check out the trial.

Wow dude! I just tried downlading this free version of Cubicle Chaos. Your link took me to a MicroSoft web page; it looked official. I went through the download procedure, and opened the file up when finished.

Low and behold, the file, named CubicleChaos.exe, is actually PDAWIN TV REMOTE CONTROL!

I downloaded it again just to be sure. Same thing.

The file named CubicleChoas.exe sets up to PDAWIN TV REMOTE CONTROL.

I installed it, just because I thougt that it might be left over from something I was doing before (I had installed PDA win software quite some time ago) and it installed PDAWIN TV REMOTE CONTROL. Right from CubicleChaos.exe

Weird.

I've got Ricochet by Astraware. Cool graphics, sweet interface (just point and you're there). Easily available from sources reputable and, um, otherwise... ;)

Was surfing the forums and came across your post.

I'm sorry to disagree with you but Arkaball blows chunks. First the paddle hangs and causes you to miss many balls. Then there is the absolutely terrible programming of the rebounds, it's completely random unlike the original game where the paddle is supposed to be a semi-circle and you can predict the rebound off of it.
