+jgkspsx Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Has anybody seen this? There’s a copy out on eBay ending soon. Seems like just a graphics hack of Centipede, right? Does anybody know anything about this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 http://www.atari7800forever.com/millipeder.html I don't follow all the homebrews and hacks myself, but The Funkmaster reviewed this one a little while ago. Trakball support is nice, but too many Millipede-centric features are missing it looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 So it sounds like the trakball coding is new? That might be a reason to give it a go. It was not in the official hack list I found on here. @gambler172 is this available as a rom or otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you downloaded @Trebor‘s Pro Pack? He has quite the collection of hacks, homebrews and demos in there and this might be included. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 It was his list I was looking at… not sure if it was the Pro Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's what's in v3.7 of Trebor's Pro Pack in terms of Millipede-type games: There's also two games called "Minipede" which I've never played but are probably in the same vein. Trebor's Pro Pack can be downloaded here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Back Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I won the auction. I got a sizable bonus at work a few months back and have been dedicating it to completing my 7800 boxed collection and getting as many homebrews, prototypes etc. It never crossed my mind that somebody may have taken somebody else’s work, made a cartridge and sold it for profit without consent. I’ve messaged both the seller and gambler to make sure If that’s what is happening that the right thing is done on my part. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I just noticed this seller is local to me. I don't recognize the name unfortunately. Cool item, it's a shame that it was made and sold without @gamber172 's permission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I suspect this seller didn’t make this - they seem to be clearing out their 7800 collection entirely, with lots of legitimate releases in there… …or are they legitimate? Uh oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Back Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Sorry my phone wouldn’t let me edit for some reason after my fat thumb landed on the quote so this goes along with the quote above. it took me a while to understand but this millipede for the 7800 isn’t millipede like we are thinking. It was an April fools thing done. The seller was cagey as to what it actually was and said he couldn’t or wouldn’t verify etc. he was also dishonest in the tank command game. He listed it as reproduction? With the question mark as if there was a chance it could be real, but again a simple google search would show otherwise. Gambler is a good man and wanted to make sure nobody wasted time and money on something if it wasn’t as it seemed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the game is was nailed by the OP.. 23 hours ago, jgkspsx said: Seems like just a graphics hack of Centipede... That is exactly it. No new gameplay elements as found in Arcade Millipede. All the available Centipede graphics were modified to match their Millipede counterparts, nothing more, outside the addition of Trak-Ball support. There are Centipede hacks with Trak-Ball support, graphics updated to better represent the Arcade Centipede original, as well as Frameless, Dark bezel, and Arcade bezel options.. thanks to @Defender_2600 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I would buy it for 10 bucks for the uncompleted hack f it went to Gambler. Other than that would be stupid to not research and know what your buying. RIP OFF!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that would be stupid to not research and know what your buying. RIP OFF!! To be fair I did do some research prior to placing my bid. I was curious and the things I did find about what it could be on google intrigued me. I didn’t find anything on the April fools version so I wasn’t aware of that. And as I stated before, I earned a fair bit of play money for my performance at work this year and wanted to dedicate it to my 7800 collection. Either way once this thread was made I contacted all parties involved and made a decision how to proceed. I don’t feel stupid tbh. maybe more money than sense atm but I’m new to this stuff and I’ve been educated a bit.
