Game Description

Centipede brings the arcade classic into the 3D era with a reimagined twist on one of gaming’s earliest shooters. As Wally, a brave forest defender, players are tasked with protecting the enchanted land of Weedom from invading insects corrupted by a mysterious evil. With your rapid-fire shooter craft, you’ll blast through waves of crawling centipedes, spiders, fleas, and other monstrous bugs in a vibrant world teeming with action and fantasy.

While the original's core mechanics remain intact in select "Arcade" stages, the main adventure unfolds in sprawling 3D environments filled with objectives, secrets, and escalating insect threats. Centipede on Dreamcast combines nostalgia with modern gameplay enhancements—featuring power-ups, boss battles, and strategic terrain—delivering a unique blend of old-school charm and new-school intensity.

Gameplay Features

• Fast-paced insect-blasting action across 3D environments and classic arcade-style levels
• Two distinct gameplay modes: Story-driven Adventure and retro Arcade
• Multiple power-ups including missiles, shields, and rapid-fire upgrades
• Colorful, fantasy-themed visuals optimized for the Dreamcast’s hardware
• Challenging boss battles and dynamic insect enemy behavior

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact

This Dreamcast version of Centipede is part of Hasbro’s late-'90s revival of Atari classics, aiming to reintroduce iconic games to a new generation. The original 1980 arcade hit was designed by Dona Bailey, one of the first female programmers in the industry—a trailblazing moment in gaming history. While the 3D reimagining received mixed reviews, it remains a fascinating look at how retro IPs were modernized during the early 3D console era.
