Centipede is one of my favourite games, and the arcade cabinet has always held a special place in my heart. I remember spending countless hours playing it at both Sunspot and Golden Nugget arcades in Hull City Center. The music is iconic, and I can still hear it blasting out from the speakers.
I have been wanting to buy a Centipede arcade cabinet for a while, as my MAME Cabinet is great, but without the rollerball, it just doesn’t feel right. Luckily, I managed to find a Millipede cabinet at a great price. Although it needs some work, the monitor, game, and controls are all in good working order. The rollerball could be better, but it’s good enough for now.

I chose Millipede instead of Centipede because I discovered that I could modify the PCB and allow it to run three additional games – Centipede, Warlords, and Breakout. So, it’s like having a 4-in-1 cabinet.

Luke is just like me when it comes to gaming. As soon as we booted up the cabinet, we went straight into playing for a high score (and I even managed to get on the scoreboard with my first game). The game is brilliant and addictive, with that “just one more game” feeling.

I am thrilled to have this cabinet and am looking forward to fixing it up. There will be many gaming battles ahead

Millipede was released in arcades by Atari, Inc. in 1982. The sequel to 1981’s Centipede, it has more gameplay variety and a wider array of insects than the original.
