Centipede: Infestation
#253248 - 04/29/11 02:55 PM


Centipede remake coming in the Fall. Not sure if this looks good or not. I'm leaning toward not. The Burgertime HD clip looked more fun to me.

Actually looks more like a remake of a Robotron/Smash TV than Centipede - don't you think?

There was a centipede version.

And the 3DFX version was great. Wish I could at least get the directX version working on a new OS or find a wrapper that makes the 3DFX version playable.

Do not p-mail me for help compiling my updates, ask on the board.
Do not request sound for your favorite game. I work on whatever, when I get around to it.
If you have schematics for discrete sound games not easily found on the net, I would be interested.

Whoa, that page also mentioned a "Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit" which I wasn't aware of before - something else to put into the toolkit for getting old stuff to run on new OSes!
Anyone have any successes with it?

Hell to the yes. Microsoft ACT has been around for over 10 years, since Windows 2000 days.

DosFreak over at VOGONS used to say what apps he was successful in using with ACT in his massive compatibility list.

The ACT is partially built into Windows these days, but there's still plenty of other tweaks you can apply by having it installed.

Ugh. This looks terrible. There's nothing Centipede about it.

There's no point in using a name if that's ALL you're going to use from it. Case in point, the new Yar's Revenge.

Nolan Bushnell's back in town.



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms
