Millipede added lots of new legs (and bugs) to the Centipede formula, which significantly alter the gameplay while making it overall feel a bit more sophisticated (and amping up the difficulty). Similarly to the original, you try to stop the progress of a constantly advancing millipede through a field of mushrooms, while contending with a variety of other bugs getting in your business. For our (fake) quarters, there’s really no reason to go back to Centipede, as every aspect of the experience is improved. This overlay reproduces the cabinet pretty faithfully, including the black void that the screen floats in – the MAME version includes a preset with scratches to give it a bit more definition. The MAME version also includes interactive buttons (the famous Atari volcano buttons blink when inserting coins) and a larger screen size if you want to get really up close and personal with the bugs.
