Synopsis

Millipede is a 1 or 2 player game with a raster-scan color video display. The game action takes place on a playing field filled with mushrooms, flowers and deadly DDT bombs. The player attempts to destroy a variety of insects that fall from the top of the screen or enter from the sides of the screen, most to attack the player. The player controls an arc-shaped vehicle called the Archer. The aim of the game is to shoot and destroy as many objects as possible for a high score, before the player's life runs out.

Player control consists of a Midi Trak-Ball control and a FIRE button. The Archer is moved by turning the Midi Trak-Ball control. The Archer can be moved in all directions, but only in the bottom fifth of the screen. However, the Archer must move around mushrooms, flowers and DDT bombs, as they are stationary objects and not "transparent". By pressing the FIRE button, the Archer emits an arrow that moves upwards. The Archer can shoot one or more arrows (by holding down the FIRE button constantly). But only one arrow will appear on the screen at a time.
