IanFlash Centipede

As a tribute to the classic Atari Centipede arcade game from 1980, Emil Korngold has attempted to recreate the game in Flash. The game is still in beta form, and yet his attempt seems to capture much of the action and addictive gameplay of the original.
Other than using the mouse for movement and firing instead of a trackball, this version of the game is played in almost exactly the same way: fire upon the descending centipede to remove sections from it and remove it from play. As sections of the worm are hit, they turn to mushrooms that then cause the worm to turn and descend another line lower. Familiar enemies and power-ups are also included with their classic behaviour, such as the spider with its erratic, unpredictable movement and the flea that leaves poisoned mushrooms in its wake.
Genre: Classic Arcade
Time to Play: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Increasing
