	Centipede (video game) - Wikipedia
		Centipede is a 1980 arcade game produced by Atari.
		A player loses a life when hit by a centipede or another enemy, such as a spider, or a flea which leaves mushrooms behind when less than five are in the player area.
		Centipede was followed by Millipede in 1982, a somewhat less successful, though respectable, game.

	Centipede Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In game theory, the Centipede Game is a game with 100 turns.
		Although the original centipede game had 100 stages (hence the name), any game with this structure but a different number of moves is called a centipede game.
		The unique Nash equilibrium of these games is for the first player to take the pot on the very first turn of the game; however in empirical tests relatively few players do so.

	Centipede – Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Centipede was a cabinet game from Atari (the Nvidia of the gaming world at the time) and at the time it was the graphic and multiplayer leader of the videogame world.
		This game, like most of the early video games, was based on a simple idea: There's a segmented centipede winding his way down the screen towards you, and you are moving about in a clearly defined zone at the bottom of the screen, firing upwards to halt his progress.
		Centipede is well optimized and is likely to work on even a mid-range machine (such as a blue and white G3 with an ATI 128 or a second generation iMac).

		Centipede is a good PC port of Atari’s classic coin-op hit by the same name, designed by legendary designer Ed Logg.
		This PC port is very faithful to the original, down to the facts that the game’s difficulty level increases the most you play, and you’ll go through several hills and valleys as the creature gets lower on each new level.
		Perhaps this is true of the original as well: as unique as the premise is, the game gets boring after a while: the simple nature of gameplay is not made up by sheer addictiveness, unlike Robotron: 2084 and the like.

	The Atari Times - Lynx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The centipede still makes its journey from the top left-hand corner of the screen to the bottom right corner, and good use is made of the Lynx’s vertical orientation to replicate the approximate environment of the original arcade game.
		The only gaming hazard present in the game aside from the centipede itself is the spider; neither the mushroom-dropping "flea" nor the scorpion is, sadly, to be found in the Lynx version.
		Centipede, as released, plays a fair game, and gaming fanatics probably won’t be too disappointed either by the lack of in-game sound, comparatively high difficulty, and graphical simplicity of the game.

		Centipede was released in 1980 by Atari Games.
		The game, like many other Atari arcade games, was ported to the Atari 2600 and many home computer systems of the era for home play.
		A player loses a life when hit by a centipede or another enemy, such as a spider, a flea which leaves mushrooms behind when less than five are in the player area, or a scorpion which can poison a mushroom and send the centipede hurtling straight toward the player area.

		Your 'wand' is at the bottom shooting upwards at a segmented centipede; when you shoot it, it splinters into 2 multiple segments, with the lead segment turning into a high-points "head".
		Many Atari 800 games were not ported for the 5200 because we had better controllers, more rom space, and the attitude that our games should ALL look and play better than those on the 800.
		Home Game Division management supported my choice to port the coin-op game instead of the 800 game all the way until it was late for Christmas.

		Their prized mushroom garden was infested with pests - a giant Centipede, a poison-spreading scorpion, a mischief-making spider, and a pesky flea.
		The Wave 3 Centipede is composed of six body segments with one head attached and two detached heads.
		In EASY games, you do not lose a magic wand when the flea or spider touches you, and the Centipede always starts the attack in a single formation, never with detached heads.

		The centipede game was first introduced by Rosenthal (1982) and has subsequently been studied by Binmore(1987), Kreps (1990) Reny (1988) and many others in different modified forms.
		The original version of the game consisted of a sequence of a hundred moves (hence the name centipede) with linearly increasing payoffs.
		The centipede game is an extensive-form game in which two players alternately get a chance to take the larger portion of a contiually increasing pile of money.

		But working as an artist in the computer game medium, I saw that a new version of Centipede could be fresh and stimulating, using the classic game as a springboard for a completely new game playing experience.
		The core Centipede game play demands that there be a large number of monsters and mushrooms on the screen at one time, and as such, a very low polygon count was required for all the models.
		Further complicating matters was the fact that, in order to get the game to work with their engine, they felt they had to rewrite large sections of the PC game’s code from scratch.

		According to the Nash version of game theory the optimum strategy (at least where all players are entirely self-interested) is for the first player to take the pot on the very first turn of the game; however in empirical tests relatively few players do so.
		Nash game theory explicitly forbids repeated games with familiar opponents; reciprocity and cooperation are not allowed.
		If the centipede game were played for 100 turns with a different opponent on each turn, early grabbing of the pot would be more likely.

		The biggest technical hurdle for making multipede work on a Centipede boardset, is in the video color circuit differences in both the number of colors and the ability to control colors on a per character basis.
		Centipede has 16 different colors (really 14 as 2 are duplicated).
		Centipede uses 2 bits for Flip-X and Flip-Y, whereas Millipede uses these same 2 bits to encode extra color information into each character and Millipede takes advantage of dedicated hardware to deal with X and Y character rotations.

		An experimental investigation of a three-person centipede game shows that the paradoxical results are strongly affected by the size of the stakes.
