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 Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Centipede for Game Boy 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.
