How to Decide
Millipede is a classic 1982 Atari arcade shooter that uses a trackball for precise aiming and is enjoyed by arcade enthusiasts and retro gamers. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Centipede (1981) leans on iconic retro arcade gameplay and historical significance as an early Atari shooter; Centipede (1998) emphasizes a 3D remake with five unique worlds and split‑screen multiplayer support.
When weighing substitutes for Millipede, focus on four concrete factors: the visual style and graphics generation (authentic 1980s raster vs 1990s 3D rendering), the multiplayer architecture (shared‑screen local co‑op, alternating two‑player mode, or split‑screen), the breadth of content (endless wave design versus a fixed set of themed levels), and the required control scheme (trackball precision versus standard gamepad or keyboard input). These dimensions directly reflect the differences highlighted in Millipede and its two Centipede alternatives.
