Berzerk vs Centipede

Navigate a neon‑lit labyrinth filled with hostile robots that fire relentlessly. Your humanoid avatar must out‑maneuver electrified walls and avoid the deadly Evil Otto who can jump walls and crush you. Each successful wave brings tougher robot groups, demanding quick reflexes and strategic movement. The classic 1980 arcade experience challenges players to achieve high scores before the maze overwhelms them.

Centipede is a vertically-oriented shoot 'em up arcade game produced by Atari, Inc. in 1980, designed by Ed Logg and Dona Bailey. Players take on the role of an elf using a magic wand to defend a prized mushroom garden from a giant centipede, scorpions, spiders, and fleas. Known for its historical significance as one of the first arcade coin-operated games to attract a significant female player base, the game challenges players to clear the playing field while navigating around obstacles and increasingly aggressive insect swarms.
