Centipede

Hey thanks M.O.

Here's my $.02 - lol

Yeah, Centipede doesn't have a continue. I just pumped in a bunch of quarters before I started playing. I only used one credit for this score so it's legit.

I agree for games that don't have a continue I shouldn't do that. I never actually thought of that as an issue because I wouldn't do a continue anyway and submit it but now that you brought it up, I will only pump in one quarter for now.

If you look back at the other scores submitted in Centipede, I'm not the only one. Some of them show one credit so that means they originally had 2 credits, then played one and took a pic but still had one credit showing.

This was the best Centipede game I've ever had including actual arcade play so please will you accept my score? I was on fire with that game and might not ever equal it again. I worked hard for it.

I wasn't sure if Centipede allowed continues or not, that's why I was hesitant. I'll accept the score!

I thought this would have higher scores

[hansolo77]

I'm not very good at this game.  It was one of my dad's all time favorites though.  But he never really had a huge score himself.

Barely on the board, but good enough.  (Probably won’t last long)

This is one of those great arcade classic games that I'm only any good at on the Atari 800 with a joystick.  Playing it with game pad through emulation just bites.  Even tried with a mouse, and it's just ridiculous.  I don't know, maybe the home computer/console version was slower.  Maybe I was just better as a kid.  Still, its a fun game.  Just wish I was better at it.

Yikes. It's not exactly ideal trying to play this with a joystick.

Agreed.  It's even harder playing with a gamepad.  But if you can manage a mouse, it's not too bad.
