Centipede is a video game developed by Atari Inc., released in 1981 on an arcade machine. It is the only game by Dona Bailey, who programmed it jointly with Ed Logg. It is considered one of the first games to attract women to arcades, after Pac-Man. This is a stationary shoot 'em up. The player plays a dwarf who must protect his garden from insects (centipedes or literally chilopods). The principle is to accumulate as many points as possible by destroying opponents.
