Play Centipede Online

Summary

The Atari 7800 version of Centipede brings the classic arcade shoot‑and‑dodge action to the home console with the same trackball‑driven Bug Blaster that made the original a hit. You steer the little shooter along the bottom of the screen, blasting darts at a winding centipede that splits into independent pieces whenever you hit a middle segment, while mushrooms sprout from each destroyed segment and can be cleared for extra points. Fleas, spiders and scorpions add layers of chaos—fleas leave mushroom trails, spiders zig‑zag for bonus points, and scorpions poison mushrooms, turning a centipede’s descent into a risky, high‑score opportunity.
