Centipede for the Atari Lynx is a shooter game originally released in 1980. Players control a small character at the bottom of the screen, tasked with shooting a segmented centipede that descends from the top. The main objective is to eliminate the entire centipede before it reaches the player’s position, while also dealing with other insects and obstacles.
The gameplay pace is fast and requires quick reflexes to dodge incoming threats and shoot accurately. A unique mechanic in this centipede-lnx game is the way the centipede splits into smaller segments when hit, increasing the challenge as multiple targets appear. This adds a strategic layer, as players must prioritize which segments to attack first.
Distinctive to this version is its adaptation for the handheld Atari Lynx platform, maintaining the core elements of the original while offering portable shooter action. The International Karate 2000 Game Boy Color keyword does not apply here, but the game fits well within the retro GBC fighting game and 1999 Game Boy Color game search contexts by analogy in classic handheld gaming.
