Centauri !

"CENTAURI" is a new shoot'em'up where you are defending the planet Proxima Centauri against the evil Pescatarian invasion force.  

Shoot the Pescatarian Army (the ones moving left and right) and all other things that move ....

In wave 1, only the Pescatarian Army is active and they're not firing much so you can get used to the game .... but in Wave 2 onwards, things start to seriously step up ... we have random UFO's that dart across the screen and stream a lazer down onto the planet surface .... and if that's not enough there's one of the strangest and most deadly life forms known to man flying above you called a "STOMPER" and that guy will try to stomp you whenever you're level with him ... Between waves a random encounter with "SATELLITES" might happen, these are deadly also, and are random in number .... 
100 points per Pescatarian kill
200 points per UFO kill
500 points per Satellite kill
and you can't actually kill the Stomper.
Good Luck!

Some footage taken from JS99er .... you can see how it ramps up after the 1st wave ... those stompers are deadly!

Can this be converted to a rom image? Is there an option to play using the keyboard?

CENT-X.dsk < Should work in all emulators.

 

I'd forgotten all about this game until I started scouring Atariage for games to update the Gamebase with.

 

Here's a Disk image that I put together to use, works with XB , OLD DSK1.CENT-X

Here's a video I made using Mame with my 1980's artwork,  Don't stare at the wallpaper for too long else you'll be Mame'd for life.

I missed this one entirely when you first put it up, but holy crap, this is great!  You have such a knack for these old-school action games.

Thanks Keith

I prefer the old school style to be honest.  There's a charm to them!
