Atari Centipede

Atari Centipede is a classic fixed shooter arcade game that challenges players to fend off a variety of creepy creatures, including centipedes, spiders, scorpions, and fleas, using your trusty bugblaster! Your goal is to survive as long as possible while eliminating these pests in an action-packed environment. The bugblaster fires small darts targeting the segmented centipede, which is made up of 10 to 12 individual body parts, including its menacing head. Each shot that hits a segment transforms it into a mushroom, adding to the game’s strategic complexity. Importantly, each segment continues to move independently down the screen, creating a dynamic and tense gameplay experience. To successfully destroy the centipede, you must aim for its head—only when the head is eliminated does the entire creature vanish. Players can control the blaster’s movement and firing either through the keyboard or mouse, making gameplay intuitive and accessible. Prepare to navigate a treacherous maze of obstacles and enemies, employing quick reflexes and precise aim to outlast your opponents in this timeless arcade adventure!
