Summary

Millipede: Super Arcade Hit! brings the classic arcade sequel to the NES, letting players zap a descending, multi‑segmented millipede while fending off an assorted swarm of bug‑like foes. The control scheme mirrors the original – a trackball for precise aiming and a single fire button that can be held for rapid‑fire – making each shot feel satisfying. Besides the titular millipede, you’ll encounter buzzing bees, scurrying spiders, inchworms that crawl along the mushroom field, ladybugs, and even occasional DDT bombs that explode in a screen‑clearing blast. The mushroom‑laden backdrop isn’t just scenery; some enemies can poison or drop mushrooms, reshaping the arena as you fight. Bonus waves appear at set intervals, flooding the screen with extra enemies that net up to 1,000 points each, rewarding quick reflexes and careful aim. The game ends when your last life is lost, leaving you with a high‑score chase that feels just as intense as the arcade version.

Storyline

In the NES version of Millipede, you take control of Archer, a lone guardian of a mushroom forest.
According to the arcade flyer and the instruction manual, his mission is to fend off waves of gigantic insect monsters that threaten to overrun the woods.
Archer wields a bow that fires magic arrows, each shot capable of striking the crawling critters before they reach the trees.
The game’s simple premise—protect the forest by blasting insects—drives the frantic, scrolling action that defines the classic title.
