Perhaps, you want to pause the game once you reach earth and take a tour of the seven wonders of the world.

Your almost at 20-bit score.

Please don't encourage him Atariksi :D
Well I made it to Earth (at last!) Up to now this is the only game where I haven't beaten my all time best (level 29) :twisted: think playing semi-left handed to fire faster is the main error :ponder: Great score MaPa.

That warp to Earth is shockingly hard. I love the music though.

Very impressive score MaPa. :)

May flip the scoreboard at 1 million (7-figures).

I am stuck at Mars-- seems to have some Wonders of the World there that are more attractive than Earth.

You can use an emulator. You don't have to use an actual machine.

I think there is some confusion... the current game is played on the 8bit, it's a 5200 conversion for use on an 8 bit atari or in an 8 bit emulator.

Woah, hello! did you ever get my email JellE? How's u? Hope ur gonna play too ;)

Hi innuendo - Welcome :thumbsup: yes the Centipede is on the regular Atari Computer (400/800/XL/XE) but it is a ported version of the 5200's version of the game. I'll send you a message just in case you don't see this.
Cheers,
trbb

I don't think I got an email from you Jason...well, at least not recently. I am going to see if I can get up and going and play some this season. Although it might actually be Melly playing... as she has a fascination with computers and the like now. :) We are doing well...just trying to keep up with a toddler now. I hope all is well in your world!!
