Omega
Nihon System • 1986


Omega is a two-player ball and paddle arcade game released in 1986 by Nihon System. Gameplay centers on using paddles to direct a bouncing ball toward formations of blocks arranged at the top of the screen. Players work cooperatively – or competitively – to clear these block structures, with the ball ricocheting between paddles and walls within the playfield. Successfully breaking all the blocks advances the game to the next level. The simple premise is complemented by a clean visual style. Two players can engage simultaneously, adding an element of shared challenge or direct opposition as they attempt to keep the ball in play. Omega provides a straightforward yet engaging experience rooted in the classic Breakout formula, offering accessible fun for arcade visitors.
