Gameplay progresses through five "worlds": Weedom, Frostonia, Infernium, Enigma, and Evile.
Players blast away at the classic centipedes, spiders, fleas, and scorpions while fighting new enemies like the mosquito, cockroach, and killer mushroom.
A "classic" mode is also included, which allows players to play the classic game in a new "3D" isometric perspective.
While the Windows and Macintosh versions have 5 worlds consisting of 30 levels, the PlayStation version has 4 worlds consisting of 23 levels, and the Dreamcast version has 4 worlds consisting of 35 levels.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Centipede for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
