Centipede is a 1982 video game by Dave Getreu and published by Atari for the 2600. Originally an arcade game, the primary objective is to shoot all the segments of a centipede that winds down the playing field. Notable for its solid, fun gameplay despite graphical compromises like blocky mushrooms and a simplified player character. Key features include the player's limited vertical movement, shooting centipede segments to create mushrooms and split the centipede, and battling spiders and fleas to earn points. The game was a successful port, praised for its ability to capture the arcade's addictive quality.
