Best version of one of the best coin-op games ever made. While all the simpleton were playing Space Invaders - the real gamers "got it" with Centipede!

This newer "5200" version of Centipede definitely migrated to the 800/XL/XE at some point, because I had it on a late-1980s Atari UK compilation.

Having checked out both this and the obviously inferior original 400/800 version, it's clear that it was the "5200" version I remember playing on my 800XL as a kid.

This is not the official Atari computer version but a far superior Atari 5200 port. The movement of the centipede and the sounds are as close to the arcade as I think possible. The official version is a clunker.
