Centipede.
Season 2, Week 18 of Score Chasing begins Saturday, January 6, 2024 at 12:00:01 PST (GMT-8) featuring Centipede, the arcade version. This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to join our group and play.
PLEASE NOTE: this score chasing event is for adults, age 18 and older, so if you aren’t yet 18, then please return when you are.
First, let’s learn more about Centipede (Arcade). How is the game played via Centipede – Videogame by Atari (arcade-museum.com)
The player controls a gun that can only move in the bottom fifth of the screen. The object is to shoot a centipede that works its way down to the player area through a field of mushrooms. Other attacking enemies are fleas, spiders, and scorpions.

This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Centipede (Arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcades, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an Bump N Jump (or Burnin’ Rubber) arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions of Asteroids Deluxe (Arcade) are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources
- Atgames Legends Ultimate – Centipede is one of 300+ included games, so if you already own an ALU, you can play.
- Antstream Arcade – Centipede is one of the included games, located here
Now that you have located where to play Centipede, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best.
