For me it's Millipede by a long shot, it just seems more elaborate, advanced, and fun.

What about you guys and girls?

I have always preferred "Centipede".
Couldn't tell you why though...:ponder:

Hey, if there is any 'pede that I prefer, it's Stampede ;)

Milli has more going on, so my preferred version. I have Centi for VCS and 5200, but wondered if they ever released Milli for either of those systems. I am going to pick up an NES cart of Milli this week.

On the 2600 I play Centipede more often. In the arcade it's the other way 'round.

Millipede for the NES is pretty good. The only thing I don't really like is the large, intrusive border around the gaming field.

Millipede rules! :cool: Despite all the action going on in this game, I've always found it more fun to play. I have seen a functioning reproduction of Millipede for the 5200 so someone was making them. I'd love to get one :lust:

Millipede for me, too. When I first bought Millipede-- having never played it at the arcade-- I preferred Centipede because Millipede seemed so much more difficult. But once I finally got bitten by Millipede, Centipede just couldn't compare anymore!

Sorry, a Centipede fan here. I find Millipede is just a little too busy with too much going on all at once.

it also really stinks on ice having to use a gamepad! However the Atari Millipede is really good!

I like Centipede better. To me Millipede had a number of new wrinkles but they weren't really all that special. Maybe a new souped-up version of Centipede could have weapon upgrades, a shop, centipedes that shoot back at you, etc.

I had centipede growing up. Millipede is better, but centipede keeps calling me back.
