JacobZu7zu7 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Centipede Manual tips txt: CONSOLE AND CONTROLLERS RESET Press the reset button on your console to start the game. Each time RESET is pressed, the game starts over. 1-PLAYER GAME To start a 1-player game, press anything on your hand controller except the number 2 key. FIRE BUTTON Press the upper action keys to fire regular shots from your magic wand. Hold in the upper action key for unlimited, repeated firing. AUTO FIRE While playing a game, you can press any keypad key on your hand controller to start an automatic firing mode. To stop auto fire, press the upper action key until it fires a shot. CONTROLLER ACTION Press the disc on your hand controller to move the magic wand in the direction you want it to go. EXTRA SPEED To speed up the movement of your wand, hold down the lower action key on your hand controller. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCORING You can score a total of 999,999 points before the score rools back to zero. Point values are listed below. Centipede body segment 10 points Centipede head 100 points Spider (distant range) 300 points Spider (medium range) 600 points Spider (close range - look out!) 900 points Flea 200 points Scorpion 1000 points Mushroom (totally eliminated) 1 point Mushroom (shot 1 to 2 times) 5 points Poison Mushroom (totally eliminated) 1 point Poison Mushroom (shot 1 to 2 times) 5 points Poison Mushroom (not shot at all) 5 points Bonus Wand every 10,000 points -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELPFUL HINTS Shoot away mushrooms in a straight to create a "corridor." When the Centipede reaches this "gap," it will fall straight down the battlefield and can be easily picked off. Since the flea doesn't appear until you have eliminated most of the mushrooms near you, you can set up a shield to prevent this lightning-fast pest from striking. Simply refrain from shooting away mushrooms near your magic wand. Shoot Centipede heads to create new heads out of the body segment left behind. Since heads are worth 10 times the point value of body segments, you'll score lots of points. Each creature makes a distinctive sound. By becoming familiar with these sounds, you will know without looking, what is attacking and where it is on the screen.

Bamse Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Like m-crew I've never really given this game much attention. It's great though. Simple graphics but very good gameplay. First try 28445 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Its a frustrating game. The more I play this the more I think how did someone get a high score like that... I havent broke my last score and I cant even count the hours on hours i have been playing this game.... You wait and see how crazy that spider gets. Then the speed of the centipedes starts there cycle again from slow to crazy fast white one's' I have changed my strategy multiple times nothing seems to work.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tell you the truth, I played 5 or 6 games after this one and only got close to that first score once and never beat it I see what you mean about it being frustrating, I just haven't played enough I suppose for that frustration to set in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
