Yup.....the link at the top of the first post is the 1982 commercial version... not the 1981 prototype version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cephallus Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I am in awe of your centipede skills! I've played around 5 games so far...the CX joystick is *not* doing it for this. Time to break out the Wico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) I'm actually using a gravis game pad pro. I think I could do better with a real atari stick. I've got a couple Wico trac balls that should be fun. I'll have to try it soon as I finish the software for my adapter I have found that on a 'good' game I get in a rhythm around 30K, and start racking up the free lives. After 70k, the spider goes bat shit crazy, and I find that I'll have a couple quick deaths, then get into sync with the spider for a bit, then quick deaths again. The scorpion is key to high scores, 1000 points every kill! Edited October 5, 2008 by poobah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Awesome score Poobah! I tried the Atari Trak-Ball but the game doesn't support it... must have been Millipede I was thinking about My favourite game of this ilk was Bug Attack... Guess I'll be playing Centipede for another week now Edited October 8, 2008 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
