I love how 40-ish years later, if I find a Centi/Millipede arcade cabinet, I can still play a decently long game on one quarter. Muscle memory and all of those play strategies are a little rusty, but are still there!

Centipede is always fun! It's timeless. My favorite version is the Atari 2600, probably because it's the one I grew up with, on an Atari 2600 we found at Goodwill. Beyond that the audio in that version is so great - The way that the laser/arrow/(whatever it is) sounds is perfect. Sidenote: Your videos are awesome! I love how you always go through the console and home PC ports - It's so cool to see all the different versions.

I wish they continued the naming of the original Centipede/Millipede. Here is my idea for "future" sequels (assuming I had a time machine). 1) Megapede (Centipede 3): Much like Milipede but two players at the same time, indestructible ant hills and ants which eat mushrooms along with the spiders. 2) Ultrapede (Centipede 4): Much like the other games, but we have backgrounds and a setting of a ruined world. And new bugs, of course. 3) Omegapede (Centipede 5): The setting is space as the heroes must stop waves of alien bugs on a large asteroid orbiting Earth, threatening to overwhelm Earth. This is a limited round game. About 40 rounds with bosses.

I found a cabinet in a scrap yard back in the late 90’ and bought it with another really cheap. Now in 2021 I own a bartop arcade machine that runs Hyperspin and the very first game i added to favourites and 9/10 times what i play first is Centipede..and earlier this month i bought the Centipede/ Millipede double pack on Xbox…after all these years it’s still a highly loved game that I’m so,so thankful i was around when it first came out…..and I’m going deep here now.. it honestly brings me to tears that there is gonna be a time when I’m no longer here to play it as well as so many other games & movies and be with family and our beautiful planet with the amazing nature we have.

Centipede = “THE” one game i play every time i turn any of my emulators. From bartop arcade machines,to super console x pro, Pandora’s box,mini pc with 2TB hard drive and handheld’s. Back in the 90’s i was lucky enough to find the real thing. A full size,mint,dedicated original arcade machine. A slightly marked Space Invaders and Centipede for £100. I already had a fruit machine in my flat, so that had to go so i could fit Centipede in. A friend wanted the Space Invaders and picked them up for me..so £50 including delivery. Wish i still had it today. But back then I’d play it 24/7. I eventually sold it for £1500 in 2019 to a mate who’s still got it. Every time i go round i play it.. it’s nice knowing it went to a good home

The Atari 2600 had this magic about it when it came to these games. I still remember the day we came home with Centifpede we fired up Met with that floating Centifpede Atari Logo all pumped then we got to the game screen and we were like "What the ....." with the dashes for mushrooms and rectangle block for the wand leggless centifpede but then you played it and it was like Magic, it captured the speed and chaos, the colors, the fleas , the scorpion it became one of the most addicting game and Atari in their own way just Nailied. I have an Atari Flashback and I still love diving in for a good hour or so playing it to the point of reliving the pain of "atari thumb" . Just love it.

I always wondered why, since this game was such a hit at the arcades, it never received a console or home computer port, except to the Vectrex. You would think that this game would have been on everything at the time.

Two additional things I've heard storywise are... a. Dona Bailey left GM because she had a hand in creating an engine for Cadillac and it did not test well (and allegedly a prototype blew up) b. Ed Logg disputes she had a hand in creating Centipede but credits her with coming up with the use of pastels for colors and she did about half the programming. After that she left to join Videa (pre-Nolan Bushnell Sente) and had nothing go past prototype stage then joined Activision to the same result and then left the gaming industry.

However, i now own a 1UP mini arcade of Centipede & Missal Command. Also had a blast playing Centipede Chaos at Dave & Busters! i concur the mushroom seats were awesome. Need to invest in mushroom stools for my home! Back in the day i had the T-Shirt & wore it proud until it faded off the shirt. I was not aware of all the track balls that were for all the home conversions may have to invest in some.

There are some arcade games where the sounds it made are so damn distinctive that if you just heard some of the sound effects, you could identify that game. This is one of those games. Very unique sounds. Very memorable. Defender, of course Berzerk, Space Invaders, Galaxian, Gorf, and Frogger are perfect examples of games that you can just identify by their sound. On a side note, I love how the designer for Centipede said that she didn't want to design a game about killing things with lasers, and despite the claims that what the player controls is a man with a magic wand, clearly, if you look at the thing, on the screen, it's clearly a space ship. And it's shooting things with lasers. And the same thing with Millipede. Supposed to be an archer. But the archer looks suspiciously like a space ship that's firing arrow shaped rockets. And I just LOVE the face of the Millipede on the cabinet on the left of the screen. It just looks like it's kind of.. perplexed and confused about life. It has a serious, "WTF!?!" look on it's face.

I was was playing Centipede during the golden age of arcades in the the early 80s. It is one of the few games that is old enough to have "always been there". But until this video, I never realized that the player icon was supposed to be a magic wand. I don't even recall anything on the game that provided information of this type. The trak ball controller is the right idea, but if the operators didn't maintain it the ball would become stiff and skip. The color scheme was a major draw, as most popular games at the time had very simple or even monochrome color schemes.
