The original bug-blasting arcade game is back! Centipede: Recharged has been reimagined for modern gameplay, with vibrant visuals designed for modern screens, a 16:9 field of play, and an original soundtrack from award-winning video game composer Megan McDuffee.

Aim for a high score in the old school arcade mode and earn bragging rights with your name at the top of the leaderboard. Or test your skills and rank on the boards in one of 30 intensely creative challenges, which twist the gameplay in new and exciting ways.

A dozen new power-ups can give you an edge by introducing abilities like screen-clearing explosions, rail guns, and even slowing down time. Every mode and level is playable in local co-op mode with a friend.

This looks kind of great. Big fan of Pac Man CE and Galaga DX and this gives off the same vibes.

Geometry Wars: Centipede Edition

This is from the same developer that created Missile Command: Recharged, and has a similar graphical style.

I don't know how many of you ever played Missile Command: Recharged. Despite Atari's very spotty history with their retreads of their early classic games over the last few years, this one actually stands out as a legitimately good game. On top of that, it's dirt cheap (or even free, on mobile phones). Evidently, Atari recognized the quality of that game, so they entrusted the developer with another one of their treasured classics.

Considering the great work the developer did the last time around, I'm rather enthusiastic to try their interpretation of Centipede.

Amico exclusive?

Looking good.

Amico exclusive?

No, and that's a good thing, because then it would be forbidden from coming out for any other systems.

Intellivision Entertainment has an agreement with Atari to produce adaptations of classic Atari games for the Amico, so there's a chance you'll see some version of Centipede for that system. It just won't be this one.

I'd be a lot more excited about this if it was Human Centipede: Recharged xD

This game is out today. I see that it is selling for $9.99 on Steam. I'd love to hear some impressions!
