Classic Game Room HD reviews CENTIPEDE for Atari 2600, the classic arcade game originally released in 1980! Centipede made its way on to the Atari 2600 in 1982 and is one of the best arcade conversions that you can find on the Atari VCS. While the original arcade machine (and cocktail sit down Centipede machine) had an amazing track ball allowing super precise game play and accuracy, this version of Centipede still handles well and is controlled with the standard Atari joystick or a myriad array of other compatible controllers. CGR uses a Sega Genesis gamepad to play Centipede. Shoot the Centipede bits, blast the spider, get extra lives every 10,000 points and have a great time with this Atari classic. This CGR review of Centipede has gameplay from the Atari 2600 version of Centipede.
