An oldie but goldie, Megapede has mushrooms and a myriad of creepy-crawlies pitted against you. In fact, it's not unlike Centipede from this month's Cover Disk.

Damn fine version it is, too - it moves smoothly and plays a mean game. The multi-legged monster squiggles down the screen at you while you try to clear a path through the mushrooms and avoid all the other antagonists.

The action is frantic and challenging but not too frustrating. One of the better arcade blasts, with lots of baddies and every few levels some really nasty baddies just in case you thought the other baddies weren't bad enough.

Megapede is shareware and registration brings a smile to the programmer's face, an improved version in the post to you, with sampled sound effects and a two-player mode - groovy.
