Enjoy Playing Centipede

This arcade classic hit floors in 1980. The goal calls for fast reflexes. Blasting a multi-segmented bug gives a rush. It crawls through your field and you have to stop it. You dodge venomous hits and face stubborn obstacles.

A small shooter sits at the bottom. You move it left or right. You fire to split centipede segments. Spiders dart across the screen. Mushrooms pop up and block your path. One collision ends your session.

Each new wave turns up speed and adds more mushrooms. Bright pixel art and straight-up action held crowds in arcades decades ago. You can now enjoy this gem on many systems. Other Retro Games and Apple Shooter Champ serve up more old-school thrills.
