After jumping behind the controls of a one-of-a-kind hovercraft known as The Shooter, you and Wally must blast your way through 23 levels and four unique worlds to end the insectoid menace. In Hasbro's Centipede, players assume the role of Wally Gudmunzsun, an unlikely half-wit selected to save the world from a horde of giant armored beasts.
Hoping to duplicate the success enjoyed by its critically panned yet freakishly popular Frogger update, Hasbro Interactive is preparing to drag another '80s arcade classic kicking and screaming into the '90s.

But what I don't like is when they update it and lose the tone and feel of what made the original so much fun. Don't get me wrong, I like it when companies update retro games. That alone changes the game from Centipede to Doom. While in the original Centipede you only faced forward and were limited in how far up the screen you can move, in this you can go just about anywhere and have 360 degrees of movement. Between saving Wee People, saving their settlements and worrying about what enemies other than the Centipedes are around you-it's easy to get lost. There's so much going on in any one level it's changed the blast-anything-that-moves gameplay of the original. That said, the updated Centipede (called "Adventure") leaves a lot to be desired. Everything's better looking-transparent water, textures that look good, power-ups that can be distinguished easily from enemies.and what a difference that makes! While the PS translation of the classic Centipede that's included with the game was slow, clunky and hardly arcade-perfect, this one is exact (and a lot of fun to play). Centipede looks a hundred times better on the DC. The Dreamcast version improves upon the PlayStation version so much that it's like comparing a final game to an alpha.
