Millipede is an action game developed and published by Atari, Inc. in 1983 for the Atari 8-bit family. It is a sequel to the classic Centipede and challenges players to defend their character against waves of attacking insects, including millipedes, spiders, and beetles.
The game is played from a top-down perspective where the player controls a small character that moves horizontally and vertically along the bottom of the screen. The objective is to shoot and destroy the advancing insects before they reach the bottom. The millipede is a particularly dangerous enemy that moves in patterns and splits into smaller segments when hit, adding tactical depth and fast-paced action.
Millipede is known for its colorful and vibrant graphics and intense gameplay. The controls are responsive and easy to learn, making it accessible but difficult to master. This challenging gameplay has made Millipede a classic in the arcade and Atari 8-bit game library.
