MILLIPEDE(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)

Now for the first time, play this previously unreleased alternate version of the ATARI 2600’s original

1984 release of MillipedeTM!

An army of menacing Millipedes have invaded your garden patch, and you must shoot arrows at them to rid your plot of these pesky pests. But wait! The Millipedes aren’t the only insidious insects you have to destroy. Jumping Spiders, buzzing Bees, bouncing Beetles, Mosquitoes, Dragonflies, Inchworms and Earwigs all have unique and deadly powers of their own!

Controls

Use the joystick controller to move around the screen and press the fire button to fire at the Millipede. Press and hold the fire button to rapid-fire and shoot continuously.

Rid Your Garden of those Bothersome Bugs!

The Millipedes attack from the top of your garden. They march back and forth across your patch until they get to the bottom. When a Millipede bumps into a mushroom, it reverses direction. If any part of the Millipede touches you, you’re finished!

Jumping Spiders enter from either side of the screen. How many points you get for ridding the garden of a Spider depends on how close it is when you shoot it.

Beetles crawl in when you least expect them. They also have a particular pattern they follow, so pay attention!

The Inchworm can’t move too quickly, but he is quite tricky just the same. When you shoot this little critter, the movement of all the insects on the screen is slowed down for about four seconds.

Survival Tips

•Make sure you keep your eye on the Millipede while you’re getting rid of the other pests. It can sneak up on you if you’re not careful, so keep it under control.

•If a millipede touches a poisonous mushroom — poisonous mushrooms are colored differently from most — watch out! The Millipede will charge directly at you!

•When the insects swarm, you could be in for big trouble. Only a Spider can enter the garden while the Mosquitoes, Bees or Dragonflies are swarming. You get 100 extra points (above the normal point value) for the second swarming bug you destroy, 200 for the third, and so forth — up to 1000 extra points per bug. Beware! Swarming bugs fly fast and furious!

•Each insect has its own unique sound, so keep your ears open and you can anticipate what will be coming next.
