CENTIPEDE
Boasting one of the most impressive title screens ever to grace the 2600, Centipede is a fairly faithful port of the coin-op. The graphics are a bit on the blocky side, but the gameplay remains true. The first thing most people notice is that the mushrooms have been reduced to little square blocks, this is due to the graphical limitations of the 2600. The mushrooms are actually made up of bits of playfield graphics (same as they are in Millipede), so they couldn't be very well defined. The player is ... a block, most likely made from a missile sprite. The spider is a little blob with legs, the centipede is purple, the fleas are. so how about that snazzy title screen? Pretty cool huh?
