Millipede Play Online 🪙 NES Games in Browser

Summary

The NES version of Millipede, released as Millipede: Super Arcade Hit!, carries forward the classic trackball‑controlled shooting of its arcade ancestor while adding a handful of fresh twists. You steer an elf‑like archer with the ball, holding the fire button for rapid‑fire as the segmented millipede slithers down, dropping a row each time it hits a wall or obstacle.
New insect foes spice the mix: earwigs replace scorpions but no longer poison mushrooms, bees take the place of fleas, and spiders, inchworms, ladybugs, dragonflies, mosquitoes and even DDT bombs each bring their own patterns, from dropping mushrooms to blasting other enemies. A periodic bonus round floods the screen with swarms that can net up to 1,000 points per creature.
The game rewards high scores by letting you start at an advanced level with a preset score, though beginning without an extra life bars you from the leaderboard. Lose your last life and the round ends, making every split‑head millipede segment a chance to climb the table.

Storyline

In Millipede (often just called Millipede) the player takes on the role of Archer, a lone defender of a mushroom forest. According to the arcade flyer and the instruction manual, Archer must fend off an onslaught of gigantic insect monsters that threaten his home. Armed with magical arrows, he shoots the creatures as they crawl across the screen, protecting the delicate fungi from being overrun.
