Summary

The Game Boy Advance compilation titled Millipede / Super Breakout / Lunar Lander bundles three iconic arcade experiences into a single cartridge. Millipede, the 1982 sequel to Centipede, swaps the original’s "Bug Blaster" for an elf named the Archer, who fends off a segmented millipede and a host of other insects using rapid‑fire shots that were once controlled by a trackball. The game’s twist—splitting the creature by shooting its body—creates extra heads that keep the action buzzing as the creature snakes down the screen. Alongside Millipede, the collection resurrects Atari’s brick‑busting classic Super Breakout and the gravity‑defying lunar descent challenge of Lunar Lander, letting handheld players revisit the simple yet addictive mechanics that defined early ’80s arcades. Together they offer a nostalgic trip, preserving the original feel while fitting neatly into the portable format of the GBA.

Storyline

In Millipede (the Game Boy Advance version), the arcade flyer and instruction manual describe the player as Archer, a forest guardian who must protect his mushroom forest from waves of gigantic insect monsters by shooting magic arrows. The insects descend in relentless swarms, forcing Archer to aim carefully and keep the forest safe.
