While I have no plans on being a video game programmer, Arkanoid can be done on the Atari 2600 for multiple reasons as a person who has played Arkanoid.

 

1.) Brik for the Atari 2600 is a similar game to Arkanoid like the post above mentioned.

 

2.) Homebrew Atari 2600 games now are able to use special chip if needed and the rom size of a homebrew Atari 2600 game cartridge can be as big as 64k currently unlike in 2002.

 

3.) Homebrew Atari 2600 have went a long a way since 2002. Princess Rescue and Zippy the Porcupine was released in 2014 and 2015 in the Atariage store as scrolling platform games for the Atari 2600. Those 2 games are way more advanced than Arkanoid is.

I made a mockup iirc a few years back, which would now totally be possible with DPC+ these days.
