Millipede

An NES port of the arcade sequel to Atari's Centipede. Players guide a magic archer along the bottom of the screen, shooting upward at a millipede winding its way downward; each hit segment splits into two shorter pieces, and the mushroom field creates labyrinthine shot paths. Spiders, bees, dragonflies, and ladybugs each move by their own rules, and some can alter mushroom colors to unlock high point bonuses. The pace accelerates steadily as play continues, delivering the classic fixed-shooter experience that demands quick reflexes and precise positioning across wave after escalating wave.
