Centipede (Play It)

This game has all the features of the original arcade game. It is colourful and fast moving and has the option of using a joystick or the keyboard. I used the keyboard and found that it responded instantly and was easy to use. A continuous firing feature means that you only have to keep the space bar pressed down rather than having to pound away at it.

There is a hall of fame for the ten highest scores. This is done using customised graphics and reflects the thought that seems to have gone into the whole game. If Play It can come up with more software of this quality for the Lynx then we will be hearing a lot more of them. I only hope that we do not have too long a wait.
