Millipede （stylized millipede in western releases and Milli-Pede in Japan） is a fixed shooter video game released in arcades by Atari, Inc.
in 1982.
The sequel to 1981's Centipede, it has more gameplay variety and a wider array of insects than the original.
The objective is to score as many points as possible by destroying all segments of the millipede as it moves toward the bottom of the screen, as well as eliminating or avoiding other enemies.
The game is played with a trackball and a single fire button which can be held down for rapid-fire.
Millipede was initially ported to the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit family, then later to the Atari ST and Nintendo Entertainment System.
Arcade original The player no longer takes the role of the "Bug Blaster" from Centipede, but instead takes the role of an elf called the "Archer".
The object of the game is to destroy a millipede that advances downward from the top of the screen.
The millipede travels horizontally until it either hits an obstacle or reaches the edge of the screen, after which it drops one row and reverses direction.
Once it enters the player's gray maneuvering area, it stays there and extra heads appear at intervals until both they and the millipede are destroyed.
Shooting a body segment splits the millipede in two, with the rear portion sprouting its own head.
A collision with any enemy costs the player one life.
An upright cabinet All flowers and poisoned or partially destroyed mushrooms revert to normal, whole mushrooms and score points during the process when the player loses a life.
At regular intervals, the player enters a bonus level with a swarm of enemies （bees, dragonflies, etc.） instead of the usual millipede....
