+DamonicFury Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Welcome to the fourth round of the 17th 5200 HSC season. Centipede tied with Rescue on Fractalus in the poll, but won the resulting coin toss. Play using the Easy setting. (The spider is really awful at Medium, and ultra-murderous at Hard.) Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC wins and records. The high score was set by phuzaxeman with 125,795 points. Beat this if you can for a bonus point!

nitrohepcat Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 21,241 5200 Super System and Trak-Ball Controller Centipede is my favorite arcade game, without a doubt. I think the 5200 port is really great, especially when combined with the trak-ball. Some folks like Millipede, but I think Centipede is the better game. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348382-5200-hsc-season-17-round-4-centipede/#findComment-5216297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the Centipede 5200 port, but I’m a bit mystified as to why they made it so difficult, even on “Easy” mode. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348382-5200-hsc-season-17-round-4-centipede/#findComment-5216367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I think we all have that problem! If masters of the 5200 like you and Northcoastgamer are struggling to get to six digits on a Centipede port's "Easy" mode, there just is no Easy mode, just a "Slightly Less Hard" mode. Home ports are almost always easier than the arcade, this cart is a rare exception. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348382-5200-hsc-season-17-round-4-centipede/#findComment-5218156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubeon Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 14,739 managed to get a couple of games in, still haven’t unpacked the trackball so that’s sad never been very good at this game, so it’s doubtful the trackball would have helped against the scores you maniacs are posting Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348382-5200-hsc-season-17-round-4-centipede/#findComment-5220552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
