Synopsis

Millipede is a 1- or 2-player game with a full-color, screen-scanning video display. The action of the game takes place on a playground filled with deadly mushrooms, flowers and DDT bombs. The player tries to destroy a variety of insects that fall from the top of the screen or penetrate through the sides of the screen, most to attack the player. The player controls an arc-shaped vehicle called the Archer. The goal of the game is to shoot and destroy as many objects as possible for a high score, before the player’s life is exhausted.

The player control consists of a Midi Trak-Ball control and a FIRE button. The Archer is moved by turning the Midi Trak-Ball command. 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 fixed 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 (keeping the FIRE button pressed constantly). But only one arrow will appear on the screen at a time.
