This program, like most of Superior's products, loads in two sections, the first being a short program to identify the suppliers and the second part loading automatically. This program loaded first time every time without any problems. The instructions displayed after loading are clear and concise, but do not include tips. The keys used are Z, X and COPY, and are sensibly chosen.

The aim of the game is to stop the centipede reaching the bottom of the screen and eating you. You score 50 points for destroying a section of the body and 100 for a head. To reach a high score, the best tactic is to break the centipede into as many sections as possible, all consisting of just a head worth 100 points.

All the expected items are there including snails, flies and spiders, which gain you points, and mushrooms which act as shields for the centipede. Centipedes appear in blue, green and red with increasing difficulty.

Six skill levels and a high score table for the top five are provided. The screen display is well laid out and smooth in action and the game varies in its start up position and paths taken.
