Arcade Games of all time #16

Centipede is a crazy fast-pace shooting game produced by Atari in the 80s by Dona Bailey one of the very few female video game programers. This was the only coin operated game that had a crazy amount of female players. The objective of this arcade game is to defend your planet against the swarm of insects and defeating the boss or the centipede at the end of each level. My dad is in love with this game and he had to buy it when we bought our new house so I have the privilege to say that I am a BEAST at this game with a high score of 3,892,511...Beat that! This game like Pac-man has two equally famous versions Millipede which will be mentioned later and Centipede 3D. Centipede was attempted to be duplicated by third party companies in games like "Caterpillar" and "War of the Bugs"
