Producer: Mikrogen, 16K £5.95 Author: S Townsend This is a very ordinary 'Centipede' game, surprising that anyone would be offering something like this today. Apart from the creepy itself (and the mushrooms of course) there is only a spider and a simple flea to worry about. The colours are bright and the graphics smooth, sound continuous and the game very fast to play. But poor control keys (3/4/8/9) and the fact that it's 12 months out of date are against it. Also the inlay states that there are user-definable keys - there aren't. Overall CRASH rating (for its speed mostly) 58%. Joystick option: Mikrogen.

MACHINE: Spectrum 16/48K JOYSTICK: No CATEGORY: Arcade SUPPLIER: Mikro-Gen PRICE: £5.95 Yet another Centipede, a game which is always pretty hopeless on the Spectrum. This one has adequate (but boring) graphics, adequate (but boring) sound. Not a good buy.
