Publisher: Atari
Released: 1983
Centipede is an action game that first saw release in the Arcade in 1981.
+ Fun multitasking element, as the mushrooms make it seem like you're fighting against the environment, as well as foes.
+ Giant spider makes the bottom of the screen feel claustrophobic, and the scorpions at the top add a risk-reward element.
+ Awesome SFX mimic the Arcade original well, and the game keeps your high score visible while the console is switched on.
+ Allows for two-player competitive gameplay and the bragging rights associated with gaining the best point total.
+ While you can shoot individual sparks, a rapid fire option is available to make longer play sessions more comfortable.
- Difficulty ramps up rather quickly (even when selecting the Easy mode), which might deter some casual players.
