Arkanoid. You bounce a ball and hit blocks... Except... IN SPACE!

From Yamcha Hibiki, ball bouncing bastard

And Stryker, still trying to find actors for Arkanoid: The Movie

Looks like the Macross guy was at it again. A winner is him! Of speech articulate he has!

The prologue, stunningly similar to Zero Wing...

And the ending, stunningly similar to Final Fantasy VIII...
