Millipede (stylized as millipede in western releases and as Milli-Pede in Japan) is a 1982 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for arcades. It was released by Namco in Japan. It is the sequel to 1981's Centipede, with more gameplay variety and a wider array of insect enemies. The objective is to score as many points as possible by destroying all segments of a millipede that moves toward the bottom of the screen, as well as eliminating or avoiding other enemies. As with its predecessor, the game is played with a trackball and a single fire button which can be held down for rapid-fire. Millipede was ported to the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit computers, and later to the Atari ST and Nintendo Entertainment System.
