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 objective is to survive as long as possible in this fast-paced, action-packed game. Your bugblaster fires small darts at the segmented centipede, which is composed of 10 to 12 body parts, including its head. Each time you shoot a segment, it transforms into a mushroom, adding obstacles on the playing field. The centipede continues to move independently, with each segment acting as a separate entity—making the game both strategic and unpredictable. To eliminate the centipede entirely, you must target and shoot its head. Destroying the head results in the entire centipede being eliminated from the screen. Control your bugblaster using the keyboard or mouse to maneuver around the playing area and aim your shots at the approaching invaders. Stay alert, plan your shots carefully, and aim for the head to maximize your chances of survival in this timeless arcade challenge!
