1.0 out of 5 stars Not your classic Centipede, October 24, 2004

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Centipede (CD-ROM)

When I bought this game, I thought I was getting the classic arcade version of Centipede that I always enjoyed playing. But this is a tricked-out 3D version that shares only the name with the original Centipede. I loaded it on my computer, played for about 15 minutes, then never went back to it. Forgot how much I disliked it the first time and loaded it on another computer, then remembered why it was sitting on the shelf. If you are looking for Centipede like you remember it from the arcade game, this is not it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A completely new 3-d game or your favorite old classic!, June 20, 2000

"[e-mail]" (NYC!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Centipede (CD-ROM)

The new version of Centipede is great! You can play the old Atari 8 bit version, but if you get board you can play the full rendered 3d game! Don't expect this too be a cheap cliche rip-off of your favotite arcade game, the new version is GREAT and only based upon the Atari version. But you shouldn't buy this ONLY for the Atari because if that's all you want you can download a demo version at a website like download.com but if you love the old one and you think you MUST see this new one, buy it!... WARNING: Surgeon General Warning. Very Addictive!:)

4.0 out of 5 stars I need to stick up for this game here..., September 18, 2009

This review is from: Centipede (CD-ROM)

I don't get it. Nowhere on the packaging for this game does it say its the original arcade version of Centipede, so how is that something to complain about...?

Having said that, I once had a demo version of this, and played it for hours. Unfortunatly, the disc wouldn't load into my newer PC, and I thought it was off to the same black hole as After Dark, Jill of the Jungle, Lemmings, etc.

Recently I found the CD ROM for this, case intact, at a thrift store. I'm so glad I did, too. Its a fun shoot-em-up game, with multiple levels and worlds to make your way through. I'm not a 'gamer'; I play games online for short periods of time and then get bored. But, this one is a different story. Well recommended.
