Centipede - 2 versions?

[Goochman]

Folks,

 

During the Centipede HSC it was noted that there is a 1981 copyright and 1982 version.

 

Was the 1982 version the only officially released one on cart?

 

Does anyone have a Centipede cart with a 1981 copyright?

 

I need this info for Twin Galaxies tracking - we might have to wipe all scores since alot of folks seem to have the 1981 version on disk vs the 1982 one.

i thinx one of them might be the A5200 version that was converted (hacked) to the A8

My brown label cart has a 1982 copyright -

 

The 5200 one is vastly different IIRC?

I've seen screenshots of both, but I'm not sure if the 1981 version was ever released. It definetly exists though.

Does anyone know if there is an analog trak-ball A8 version of Centipede possibly converted from the 5200? I have seen the Sunmark 5200 cart.

[Goochman]

Yeah - I have the 1981 version on disk -

 

Im curious if anyone has an Atari manufactured cart of the 1981 version?

I'd like to see that version. Does it differ from the 1982 version at all?

Checkout the HSC thread on it - it is apparently alot easier. Fandal got 999,999 on 1981 version and only 75K on the 1982 one.

 

I will have to dig for it.

 

Do you have a Flashcart from Atarimax? If so, download DarrensArcade image from their forum - it has the 1981 version on it.

Yes I do, I'll have to look into that. The reason I want it is so I can review it for my site. Same with the Final Legacy betas I know are out there...

the original version uses character graphics. Im pretty sure the 2nd version did come

out on the 8bits, altho both my copies were pirated back in the 80's so I couldnt say

for sure. Believe it or not there was even another version called "Megalegs" which

I had and it was pretty good too!
