Line 2: [[File:millipede.png\|frame]] '''''Millipede''''' is ana 1982 video game by [[Atari]]. Defend yourself from hordes of larger-than-life insects. The bugs keep coming -- all kinds -- and the challenge continues while the intensity increases. Although this game utilizes the same format and controls as ''[[~~Centipede (Video Game)\|~~Centipede]]'', ''Millipede'' offers many extra elements that test your skill limits. You still shoot from the bottom of the screen at a field of mushrooms, but instead of battling just the original four arthropods, you now face a deadlier variety of enemy bugs: millipedes, spiders, bees, beetles, earwigs, inchworms, dragonflies, and mosquitoes. Naturally, each of these creatures has unique characteristics that must be studied. In addition, the mushrooms move up or down, and sometimes change around after the end of a level. Fortunately, there is a new feature that can be used to the player's advantage: DDT bombs. Four of them can appear on the playfield at any given time. Shooting one of them unleashes a cloud of deadly gas that destroys any insects, flowers or mushrooms in the area. Line 10: After every few levels, a swarm of insects appears; the point value for each insect shot during the swarm increases by 100 points each time, up to 1000 points apiece. Another feature is the option to start at a higher level of difficulty, which progresses as the player scores more points (similar to ''[[Tempest (video game)\|Tempest]]''). ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~''Millipede'' has examples of:~~ * [[Bug War]] * [[Deadly Gas]] - DDT * [[The Eighties]] * [[Everything Trying to Kill You]] - All the bugs kill you on contact, the mushrooms get in your way and send the millipede down faster, and flowers are basically mushrooms that are [[Immune to Bullets]]. * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]] * [[Game Over]] * [[Helpful Mook]]: Shoot the Inchworm and all other enemies move at half speed for a few seconds. * [[Palette Swap]] * [[Shoot'Em Up]] * [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Earwigs and Bees play the same role as the Scorpions and Fleas from the first game. * [[Zerg Rush]] - Any wave with bees, dragonflies, or mosquitoes mass rushing you. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Arcade~~Video Game]] [[Category:Atari]] [[Category:~~Shoot~~Arcade ~~Em Up~~Game]] [[Category:Action Game]] [[Category:Shoot'Em Up]] [[Category:The Golden Age of Video Games]] [[Category:The Eighties]] [[Category:~~Action~~Atari ~~Game~~2600]] [[Category:~~Millipede~~Atari 8 Bit Computers]] [[Category:~~Video~~Atari ~~Game~~ST]] [[Category:Nintendo Entertainment System]] [[Category:Game Boy]] [[Category:Xbox 360]] [[Category:Xbox Live Arcade]] [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
