On loading this program I was greeted by a snazzy title screen, replete with flashing lettering, inviting me to proceed. Full of curiosity and ready for another skirmish with the insect world I chanced my arm: immediately I was in combat with a two-tone worm squirming through the fungi forest. I noted a green sprite-propelled mosquito and a convincing-looking scorpion too, but I was most impressed by the finely detailed eagle which squawked as it dogged my every move.

This avian pest was assisted by a tarantula which had to be avoided, being impossible to blast. My initial successes were marked by a change in screen colour... but eventually I succumbed to overwhelming forces.

A well implemented version of Centipede, carefully prepared right down to the title screen and with good use of colour, sound and sprite graphics.

The storyline is obviously popular and this version should certainly add to its admirers.
