In this attractively-presented game, you defend your mushroom patch by firing with a gun controlled by the cursor keys.

The main target is a centipede which moves down the screen and yields a score when hit but also breaks into two separate pieces.

Attacks by scorpions, spiders, worms and fleas add variety and the loss of three lives terminates each game.

There are three degrees of difficulty and several players may compete by entering their initials so that their scores are shown on a score-sheet display.

While hardly unique, the graphics and action of this game are very good and the levels of difficulty about right both for the beginner and for others with more skill and practice. Most will find Spectrapede very good fun and many will become addicted.
