...showing a Scolopendra Subspinipes centipede (with Coqui frogs chirping in background) ...I almost stepped on this little vagrant one night in my kitchen. The bite I'm told is comparable to that of a scorpion.I do not plan on finding out. This specimen is around 7 inches long, but I've heard of much larger ones stalking and taking down small children....even though they actually prefer snotty republicans. Shooting any section of the centipede creates a mushroom; shooting one of the middle segments splits the centipede into two pieces at that point. Each piece then continues independently on its way down the board, with the first section of the rear piece becoming a new head. If the head is destroyed, the section behind it becomes the next head.

The centipede starts at the top of the screen, traveling either left or right. When it hits a mushroom or the edge of the screen, it drops one level and switches direction. Thus, more mushrooms on the screen cause the centipede to descend more rapidly. The player can destroy mushrooms by shooting them, but each takes four hits to destroy.

If the centipede reaches the bottom of the screen, it moves back and forth within the player area and one-segment "head" centipedes are periodically added. This continues until the player has eliminated both the original centipede and all heads. When all the centipede's segments are destroyed, a new centipede forms at the top of the screen. Every time a centipede is eliminated, however, the next one is one segment shorter and is accompanied by one additional, fast-moving "head" centipede. A player loses a life when hit by a centipede or another enemy, such as a spider or a flea. The flea leaves mushrooms behind when fewer than five are in the player area, though the number required increases with level of difficulty. Spiders move across the player area in a zig-zag fashion and occasionally eat some of the mushrooms.

Scorpions poison every mushroom they touch, but these never appear in the player's movement region. A centipede touching a poisoned mushroom hurtles straight toward the player's area. Upon reaching the player's area, the centipede returns to normal behavior. hahaha atari 1980.

  • Yo bro- centipede man- wanna smoke this pot

  • Haha pot leaf in the centipede cage. I sure wouldn't take your pot if one of those was around it!

  • I was biten by a larger one when I lived in Hawaii !!! HURT SO BAD !!!! Oh Man it hurt.  Owwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee!!!

  • Also side note: If you've ever been to the Southwest mainland, and have had the pleasure to hear the locust, talk about annoying, the sound of the Coqui is harmonious and pleasurable compared to the sound of that desert locust. BUZZZzzzzzzzt

  • Ahhh I just seen one of these tonight. Damn thing ran under my moped and disappeared, when I was going to lock it up. Now I wait. May anybody trying to steal it, get bit by that creepy thing... Ah theres just some stuff on this planet I can't keep from getting creeped out on.

  • Damn coqui frogs...well its kinda nice when you aint tryna sleep sometimes, where you live Big Island?

  • Makes me cringe centipedes, so what would happen if that was to bite me? i heard story's of friends doing training in some big jungle's in marines, n some guy got bit by one nd couldn't move, was sat in the same position for 4 hours because he was stuck from w.e it done to him, urgh!

  • Coqui frogs are so damn irraz. Just another species that doesn't belong in our islands. How the Puerto Ricans tolerate them is beyond my comprehension. They actually love the little annoying bastards.

  • It's in the guinness world record book for most painful insect bite. I hate bugs...

  • i cant stand them puerto rican coquis,,they make so much noise,,now i know this is Hawaii....
