Kilopede

There are two essential requirements for any version of Centipede; speed and loud noises. Kilopede lacks both of these and so does not qualify as one of the more alluring megazaps around.

The game's graphics, though, are tolerable. Yellow mushrooms in the familiar light-bulb style are spread over a black background. Through this vegetation comes the segmented blue Kilopede. Your laser-base is very mobile, but doesn't fire anything like fast enough.

There are, of course, more hazards than a mere centipede. You are told to avoid 'killer crabs, fleas, spiders and jellyfish', though it's hard to tell what relation the green half-moon shaped creature near the beginning bears to any of these.

Overall, the game is merely average and is no better than the many other versions available for other machines. Given the Memotech's specifications, we might have expected something considerably more sophisticated.
