  1. I hope they release it on the switch one day. I've bought Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Galaga.

  2. Just like it was on the Macromedia Shockmachine

  3. pisses me off that you dont even know the pattern

  4. what are those little things u need to shoot

  5. Try to beat my real score of 34,686 without your fake score of 5,818!

  6. This is totally bogus. centipedes pass right through shooter without damage after 4:20. Just because this game is retro doesn't mean we're all stoned or something.

  7. I need this right now I used to get like 100k plus!!!!

  8. My grandparents have a whole system in their basement. Best game ever.

  9. I love this video game Atari game is my favorite game I have played it all the time at gameover places I have played it on game boy but I have lost the video game in California in 2010 Kathy Russell

  10. I hope I get that game for Wii game and for the play station Kathy Russell

  11. Centipede is one of my fav retro games I'm super good at it

  12. I had a Atari plug and play system that plays centipede if it had Atari graphics

  13. 「ピクセル」から。クモ邪魔くせぇーw

  14. The Centipede multiplies and divides
    And comes after you from every side;
    Faster and faster, row by row
    He slides through the rocks to get you from below!

    Oh, Centipede, you can't run away;
    You can't run away

    You can't run
    You can't hide
    I'm coming to get you
    Here I come!

    The centipede twists and bends;
    The spiders are his only friends
    If you can get them before they get you
    They go back to the top, and they start on rack two

    Oh, Centipede, you can't run away;
    You can't run away

    You can't get away little Centipede
    I'm right behind you
    Don't try hiding behind the mushrooms
    I see you!

    Oh, Centipede, you can't run away;
    You can't run away

    The spiders can't help you now
    I'm gonna get'cha!
    Go ahead and run your little legs off
    Do ya' have Nikes for all of 'em?

    The Centipede multiplies and divides
    And comes after you from every side;
    Faster and faster, row by row
    He slides through the rocks to get you from below!

    Oh, Centipede, you can't run away;
    You can't run away

    I understand now
    You wanna play hide and seek don'cha?
    I'll play with you
    Come out, come out where ever you are!

    Oh, Centipede, you can't run away;
    You can't run away

    Come here little Centipede
    I'm gonna chase you down now
    You can't fool me by changing colors
    Here I come

  15. Eddie Plant's at it again with his Cheat Codes.

  16. The trackball was such a pain to use. I had a hard time with this one compared to other games with joysticks.

  17. HEY DONT KILL MY PARENTS >:(
    NOICE video ;3

  18. I played this game in a pub in the early 80s when I was around 11 years old. I do not think I should have but it was fun with friends.

    We still go to this pub for lunch but they do not have any video arcade games there now.

  19. I’ve never played Centipede, but it honestly looks really hard…

  20. For some reason, people at Wikipedia say that this is game was released in 1981, not 1980. Guess they're wrong because it says 1980 ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING SCREEN!!! LOOK CLOSER YA' BUMS (as in bums, I mean Wikipedia).
