GUESS CENTIPEDE FROM SCREENSHOTS
A trackball, a garden of mushrooms, and a segmented centipede snaking down the screen: Atari's 1981 shooter is elegance in arcade form. Shooting a segment splits the creature and turns the mushroom field into a shifting maze, while spiders and fleas add chaos. It was also one of the first arcade hits with a large female player base.
