Producer: Crystal Computing Memory Required: 16K Retail Price: £6.50 Language: Machine code Author: D. Fowlds The 'Centipede' rampages on in this new all action arcade game from Crystal with a ludicrously short loading time (are they using Microdrives already?) There's all these green amoebae whining about the screen, gradually getting lower and threatening your laser base. They do this as individuals, not as segments of some greater beast, often splitting into two and generally multiplying. There's also lots of what might be described as dead amoeba) slime in clumps everywhere, which must be shot away (the mushrooms) to give you a clear firing path. Any amoeba shot, turns into more icky blue stuff. As you might expect, all this decaying, primordial sludge attracts a lot of flies, and after them, a lot of lizards which threaten you. Your laser base may move from left to right and up or down by about four character squares. Like their other release this month Cyber Zone this game has voice activation for firing the laser although it isn't guaranteed to work and depends on your tape recorder. COMMENTS Control keys: Z/X =left/right, N/M = up/down, SPACE = fire, Pity the direction keys are in a straight line. There does seem to be auto fire, however, which makes life easier Joystick: none Keyboard play: responsive and fast Use of colour average Graphics: small but good Sound: excellent Skill levels: 1 Lives: 5
