darthkur Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) An army of menacing millipedes, cousins to the infamous centipede, have invaded your garden patch, and you must shoot arrows at them to rid your plot of these pesky pests. But wait, the millipedes aren't the only insidious insects you have to destroy. Jumping spiders, buzzing bees, bouncing beetles, mosquitoes, dragonflies, inchworms and earwigs all have unique and deadly powers of their own to bring about your demise. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Please do not use any cheat/hack options. These include auto-fire, unlimited lives, invincibility, etc. Settings: Start at 00 points. Move the controller to the left until "Select Starting Score" reads 00. No continues allowed. Only games started at the beginning count. Contest ends on: 12-7-09 at 1:00am EST.

RangerG Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm playing this off the multicart. Is there anyway to scroll with the trackball? I'm plugging in the joystick, scrolling to Millipede, hit enter, and then switch to the trackball. but I thought maybe someone knows a trick.

You can scroll downward through the menu with the trackball but not upwards for some reason. Does your copy of Millipede function with the trackball? Mine doesn't.
