Overview
Centipede came about after
Hasbro Interactive had stuck a deal to buy IP from
Atari in the late nineties when Hasbro was entering into a boom and Atari was trending downhill. Hasbro also remade other Atari classics like
Missile Command and
Pong. The game was developed by
Leaping Lizard Software. Centipede was released on the
Playstation,
Dreamcast and
PC in 1999, and
MacSoft published it on the
Mac in 2000.
Westlake Interactive handled the developing duties for the Mac port.
Story
There is a story to this Centipede game and so it goes; every one hundred years a multitude of armored creatures rise from the center of the
Earth and storm to the surface to try and take over the world. To combat this menace, inventive people created The Shooter. Now the world just needs a savior and that person is... Wally Gudmunzsun? Well whatever, when your asked to save the world you don't ask why, you just get it done.
