Centipede clone for the Radio Shack Color Computer.

Haha that's great how the centipede just comes straight down like that. Over all this does look pretty good though. Awesome video!

loadm? is it from disket drive?

I originally bought the game on tape. But yes it is now on disk. It has been a long time since I transferred a program. You needed to peek certain memory locations to find the start, end, and execute addresses for the program before you could save to disk. Also depending on the program you might need to change those addresses to get it to work on disk.

Ahh! one of the BEST Centipede incarnations on the CoCo - a joy to play. Now, if Burguertime had ever been done...

Slay The Nereis was a pretty good centipede clone. I'm guessing it came out later than this one?

[marlinlee]

Correct. I see Slay The Nerius and Colorpede are both copyright 1982. But Slay the Nerius is definitely the later game. Even though the Color Computer was first introduced in 1980 it really didn't hit it's stride until late '82 early '83.
