 History

Milipede (c) 1982 Atari.

 

Milipede is a 1- or 2-player game with a color raster-scan video display.

The game action takes place on a playfield filled with mushrooms, flowers, and deadly DDT bombs.

The player tries to destroy a variety of insects that drop from the top of the screen or enter from the sides

of the screen, most of them to attack the player.

The player controls a bow-shaped vehicle called the Archer.

The object of the game is to shoot and destroy as many objects as possible for a high point score, before

the player's lives are all used up.

Player control consists of a Midi Trak-Ball control and a FIRE button.

The Archer is moved by rotating the Midi Trak-Ball control. The Archer can be moved in all directions,

but only within the bottom fifth of the screen.

However, the Archer must move around mushrooms, flowers, and DDT bombs, since these are fixed and

not 'transparent' objects. Pressing the FIRE button causes the Archer to emit an arrow that travels upward.

The Archer may fire one or many arrows (by holding down the FIRE button constantly).

But only one arrow will appear on the screen at a time.

A player may start a game at an advanced level of play and receive bonus points for starting play at that

level.

Game play begins with a playfield of randomly placed mushrooms and DDT bombs.

A e enters at the top center of the screen and starts snaking its way across the screen. The e changes

direction when it runs into a fixed object in the playfield (mushroom, DDT bomb, or flower), or when it

reaches the side boundaries of the playfield.

When a segment of the e is shot, it is destroyed and a mushroom appears where that segment was shot.

When shot, the e breaks into two smaller es, each with its own head. When a e reaches the bottom of the

screen, it starts back up, but remains within the area of the Archer (the bottom 5th of the screen).

If a e reaches the bottom of the screen without being shot, it releases its tail. This tail changes into a new

head. Also to provide the player a challenge, if a e is still alive when it reaches the bottom, new heads

will enter the screen almost at the bottom of the sides. More of these heads will appear as time progresses.

An attack wave is complete when all e segments are destroyed. The screen then scrolls down one line.

At the 9th attack wave, when the e with only four segments enters from the top of the screen, the screen

will scroll down every two seconds. The only way a player can stop the scrolling screen is to shoot a DDT

bomb or destroy the entire e.

It takes four shots to destroy a mushroom. After the fourth attack wave of each wave cycle, the entire

playfield of mushrooms changes. Some mushrooms die and new mushrooms grow where there were none

before. A mushroom next to a DDT bomb becomes poisoned

(See Tips and Tricks below for complete details).

When a e runs into a poisoned mushroom, two things happen: its head changes color, and it changes

direction and falls vertically to the bottom of the screen.

DDT bombs explode when hit by an arrow. Any object near the bomb is engulfed by the explosion.

Insects are worth three times their normal point value if they are destroyed by the explosion.

Spiders appear in any round. They move in a random pattern on the bottom third of the screen.

As the player's score increases, the range of the Spider decreases, until it is confined to the bottom fifth of

the screen. Also, more Spiders enter as the game progresses. A Spider destroys any mushroom or flower it

moves over. Depending on a special option switch setting, the Spider moves slowly until a player reaches a

specific score, and then it speeds up. If the Archer and a Spider collide, both are destroyed.

When a e with fewer than 11 segments appears, an Earwig enters the screen from either side, moving at a

relatively slow speed. As the player earns more points, the Earwig's speed increases.

If an Earwig passes over a mushroom, it poisons the mushroom.

When a e with fewer than ten segments appears, a Dragonfly enters at the top of the screen.

The Dragonfly moves in a zig-zag pattern and its speed increases as the player's score increases.

As the Dragonfly moves, it leaves a trail of mushrooms behind.

When a e with fewer than nine segments appears, a Mosquito enters at the top of the screen and flies in a

diagonal pattern. The Mosquito's speed increases as the player's score increases. When a Mosquito is

destroyed, the screen scrolls up one row. Mosquitoes are worth 400 points when destroyed.

Beetles appear randomly after the first wave. They enter from the sides of the screen near the bottom,

travel down to the bottom of the screen, and walk at least half way across the bottom.

Then the Beetle travels up and exits at the side of the screen. If a Beetle passes over a mushroom, the

mushroom changes into a flower. Flowers cannot be destroyed by the Archer. Depending on an option

switch setting, the number of Beetles appearing on the screen and the speed of the beetles increase as the

player's score increases. When a Beetle is destroyed, the screen scrolls down one row.

Bees may fall from the top of the screen during any round. As the Bee falls, it leaves a trail of mushrooms

behind. The Archer must hit a Bee twice to destroy it; the first shot just speeds it up.

An Inchworm may appear when a e with fewer that eleven segments appears.

The Inchworm travels from one side of the screen to the other side. It moves slowly until the player's score

reaches 80000 points. Then it speeds up.

If the Archer destroys the Inchworm, all insects will slow down for about three and one-half seconds.

After a e of one, three, five, seven, or eleven segments has been destroyed, an insect bombing raid occurs.

A raid may have only Bees, Dragonflies, Mosquitoes, or a mixture of all three.

 

- TECHNICAL -

Approximately 10,000 units were produced. e came in two different form factors, an upright and a cocktail

table, and it was also available as a conversion kit for "Kangaroo", "Dig Dug", and "Arabian".

The uprights were by far the most common. They all have control panels with a trackball, although the

upright version uses a larger ball than the other ones do. All of the trackballs are prone to wear and tear,

but replacement parts are readily available.

The upright was in a white cabinet that was rather strangely shaped.

It really accented the speaker area in a way that no other games did. The game featured ornate painted

sideart of a huge orange bug along with a hunter inside a forest scene.

That graphic wasn't just on the sides either, it continued all the way around the front of the machine as

well.

The control panel was dark and rather plain, it had the trackball, some game instructions, and a few

graphics of leaves. The marquee for this title shows a hunter clad in red, firing a longbow at an orange e.

The cocktail version is black and woodgrained, and has two control panels.

It is mildly decorated with light blue graphics under the glass and on the control panels.

This was the style of cocktails where both players sat across from each other, and not the side by side style

that some other titles used.

- TRIVIA -

Released in November 1982.

Sequels to arcade games can be a 'hit and miss' thing. Taito was able to make a successful sequel to its

"Space Invaders" game by releasing "Space Invaders II".

Atari also attempted to make a sequel to its hit "Asteroids" called "Asteroids Deluxe". Unfortunately, the

sequel was not received well and Atari took a loss with it.

Atari had another runaway hit in 1980 called "Centipede".

The game basically involved having the player take out insects and mushrooms that dotted the playing

screen. Taking another chance, Atari released a sequel in 1982 called e. Fortunately, e received a better

reception then "Asteroids Deluxe" did as a sequel and it did fairly well at the arcades.

Other games that Atari released such as "Dig Dug", "Gravitar", and "Pole Position" may have also helped the

sequel along. The game play was essentially the same as the original.

If you go into test mode, you will see a hidden 'Logg' sprite which refers to the game programmer Ed Logg.

Originally called 'Centipede Deluxe'. Here are the main differences between e and "Centipede" :

* Instead of the Centipede and three enemies, you now have to deal with the e and seven enemies.

* In addition to the Bee dropping mushrooms, the Dragonfly also drops them.

The difference between the two enemies is that the Bee goes in a straight line from top to bottom while the

Dragonfly zig-zags across the screen from top to bottom.

* Beetles turn mushrooms into flowers which can only be destroyed with DDT bombs or by Spiders.

* On some screens, some of the mushrooms will disappear while others grow in other random places.

* The player character is now an Archer, as it now shoots arrows instead of laser-type shots.

* The screen advances down one level after each round is completed or for each Beetle that is hit.

This will reveal other things when a new top level is revealed. Mosquitos cause the screen to advance up by

one level.

* Different events are based on how many segments the e starts with

(a segment is defined as not being a separate head).

* DDT (a chemical that was banned in the 60's for pest control) bombs have been added to help you take out

areas of bugs, flowers, and mushrooms.

* A new bonus setting has been implemented.

It works depending on what the machine is set at for gaining bonus Archers.

Once you cross that threshold multiple, you can start a new game from that score minus the original bonus

score. The score tops out at 300,000 points. You have 30 seconds after your game ends to choose to do this.

It works like this :

1) The maximum level a player can start at is one level lower then the last free Archer they received.

For example, you receive a free Archer every 20,000 points. If you achieved a score of 50,000 points, then

the last free Archer you received was at 40,000 points. Going one level lower, you can either start with a

bonus of 0 or 20,000 points. It works the same for free Archers awarded at 12,000 or 15,000 points.

2) The player will also be allowed to start a new game at a bonus level. Again, depending on what the

machin settings are for free Archers will determine this bonus. The bonus will be 0, 1, 2, or 3 times

whatever the score required is for a free Archer (i.e. 0, 12,000, 24,000, or 36,000 points to name one).

You will have 10 seconds to make a decision.

* There are more score dependent settings for the game. This means more enemies will do different things

depending on the player's score.

* e cycles back and forth with head to body ratio instead of just having heads like Centipede does.

James Schneider holds the official record for this game with 6,995,962 points.

A e unit appears in the 1983 movie 'Joysticks' and in the 1988 movie 'Arthur 2 - On the Rocks'.

In 1982, Atari released a set of 12 collector pins including : "Missile Command", "Battle Zone", "Tempest",

"Asteroids Deluxe", "Space Duel", "Centipede", "Gravitar", "Dig Dug", "Kangaroo", "Xevious", "e" and "Food

Fight".

 

- SCORING -

e (Body) : 10 points

e (Head) : 100 points

Spider : 300, 600, 900, 1200 points

(Points increase the closer the Spider is to the player's Shooter when shot)

Earwig : 1000 points

DDT Bomb : 800 points

Dragonfly : 500 points

Mosquito : 400 points

Beetle : 300 points

Bee : 200 points (Takes 2 hits. First hit speeds it up, second hit destroys it)

Inchworm : 100 points

Mushrooms & Poisoned Mushrooms : 1 point (Takes 4 hits to destroy). When the mushroom patch is reset

after a player loses a life, each partially destroyed mushroom, poisoned mushroom or flower that is

restored awards the player 5 bonus points.

Enemies killed inside DDT blasts are worth 3 times their normal score.

The exception to this are Spiders which are worth 1,800 points when killed by DDT and enemies on the

raids which are worth their normal (progressive) point values.

Raids : Normal points for the first raiding insect killed.

Additional kills on raiding insects are worth 100 points more than the previous one, up to a maximum of

1,000 points each.

 

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Hints :

1) Destroy mushrooms near the bottom of the screen.

2) Destroy the DDT bomb when the e is beside it.

3) When a e hits a poisoned mushroom, it changes direction and falls vertically.

Anticipate the place the e will fall, because shooting it as it falls destroys all its segments.

* Know Your Enemies : This is the single most important aspect of this game.

If you don't know how each of the enemies behave, you won't last long. The enemies are :

1) e (Body and Head) : Goes back and forth across the screen.

Will drop to the next level when it encounters a mushroom, flower, DDT bomb, or the side of the game

field. It will go all the way to the bottom when it hits a poisoned mushroom.

2) Spider : These appear from the top left or right of the player area. They will either bounce across the

player's area at 45 degree angles or bounce in at a 45 degree angle, bounce up and down a couple of times,

go to the middle at a 45 degree angle, bounce up and down a couple of times, then finally go to the right

side (at a 45 degree angle), bounce up and down, then exit the area. They destroy flowers and mushrooms

they pass over. In later stages, multiple Spiders will appear.

3) Dragonfly : These appear when the e begins with less then ten body segments.

It goes in a zig-zag pattern from top to bottom leaving a trail of mushrooms in its wake.

4) Bee : These can appear in any attack wave. Their role is identical to that of the Flea in "Centipede" in

that they fall from the top of the screen to the bottom, randomly depositing mushrooms along the way.

Bees take two shots to kill. The first shot makes the angry and causes them to speed their descent.

They will usually appear when you have cleared out most of the mushrooms in the player area.

5) Earwig : These appear when the e begins with less then eleven body segments.

Their role is identical to that of the Scorpion in "Centipede" in that they go across the screen and poison all

the mushrooms in their path.

6) Beetles : These appear randomly after wave one. They enter from the side of the screen, then go to the

bottom. They travel at least halfway along the bottom before going up to their original entry level.

They then exit from the side. All mushrooms in their path are converted to flowers.

7) Mosquitoes : These appear when the e begins with less then nine body segments.

They fly in a diagonal pattern from the upper left or upper right corners. Hitting them causes the screen to

go up one level.

8) Inchworm : These first appear when the e has less then eleven body segments.

Hitting them causes all enemies on the screen to slow down for about three seconds.

* The e will start out as a head with eleven body segments in the first wave.

Wave two will be a head with ten body segments and a head that enters from the opposite side.

Wave three will be a head with nine body segments and two heads that enter from opposite sides.

This progression keeps going until wave twelve where you have twelve heads. The cycle will then start over

in wave thirteen. This cycle occurs every twelve distinct waves.

* You must clear the first e wave only once.

Then, until your score reaches 20,000 points, you must complete each subsequent e wave twice--first as the

e moves slowly towards you, then as it moves fast. After your score reaches 20,000 points, each e wave will

only need to be completed once.

* Shooting the e can have 2 effects :

1) If you shoot the head, then that part turns into a mushroom and the next segment becomes the new head

and the e will travel in the opposite direction (since it hit the new mushroom created).

2) If you shoot the middle of the body, then the segment hit will become a mushroom.

The old e will continue in the same direction. The new e will develop a head at the next segment after the

break and head off in the opposite direction.

* A good strategy to ensure you destroy the e's in one stroke and to keep the Bees at bay is to create

'mushroom corridors'. Mushroom corridors are basically corridors between two rows of mushrooms where

you can funnel the e down and destroy it when it is moving head-first at your shooter.

* In reference to the above 'mushroom corridors', keep in mind that after the fourth wave of each cycle, the

mushrooms will undergo a period of growth that determines whether they stay alive or die in accordance

with a modified version of the 'life' algorithm. The rules are as follows:

1) Any mushroom with fewer than two neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.

2) Any mushroom with more than three neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.

3) Any mushroom with two or three neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.

4) Any empty space with exactly three mushroom neighbours comes to life.

5) Any mushroom adjacent to a DDT bomb becomes poisoned

6) Any non-poisoned mushroom adjacent to a poisoned mushroom dies

7) Flowers cannot die, but do count as neighbours towards the growth of mushrooms.

After this period of growth, you may have to clean up the area since some of your corridors may have been

affected by this change.

* Watch out for the Spiders. They enter at either the top or bottom corners.

Your Archer may be in the way if this happens. In addition to collisions, the Spiders wipe out all

mushrooms that are in its path. This can create problems when you are creating mushroom corridors.

It can also cause the Bees to appear since you won't have many mushrooms in the player area.

In later rounds, multiple Spiders may appear in the player area.

* At the beginning of a round, take a quick look to see how many segments the e has.

This will determine the behavior of enemies on that or subsequent rounds.

* Five different times during the cycle of 12 e attack waves, you will be bombarded by a swarm of insects.

These waves are a major source of points.

After the 2nd wave : Bee raid

After the 6th wave : Dragonfly raid

After the 8th wave : Mosquito raid

After the 10th wave : Bees and Dragonflies raid together

After the 12th wave : Bees, dragonflies, and mosquitoes raid together

During these raids, special scoring applies for shooting Bees, Dragonflies, and Mosquitoes.

Each insect kill of those types (even types not actually swarming, for example a single Bee randomly

dropping during the Mosquito swarm) is worth a minimum of 100 points more than the previous kill, to

a maximum of 1000 points. Triple scoring from DDT applies as well, so DDTing a Mosquito or Dragonfly

will immediately max the raid value at 1000, and DDTing a Bee will register at least 600.

It's very important not to die during one of the raids. If you stay alive, a raid can be worth up to 30,000

points later in the game.

To prepare for a raid, don't shoot the last head until any Spiders and Beetles are near the side and

leaving the screen. Clear a path to a DDT bomb if possible, so you can use it to kill several insects

at once. It will quickly build their value to the maximum of 1000 points each.

Concentrate on one thing-shooting as many bugs as you can.

Don't waste time clearing mushrooms until after the raid is over. As your score increases, the length of the

raids also increases, making them worth lots of points.

* On the 9th wave, immediately after the mosquito raid, the mushrooms begin scrolling down very quickly,

roughly one row every two seconds. They don't stop unless you kill the e, shoot a DDT bomb, or lose a life.

You have to do one of these three things quickly, or you'll be overwhelmed by mushrooms on the bottom.

First try to hit a DDT bomb. It's a good idea to clear a path to one before the wave starts. If you can't use a

DDT, try to kill the e before the mushrooms get too low. As a last resort, die on purpose.

The scrolling wave follows the raid of Mosquitoes. If you can shoot a lot of Mosquitoes in the raid, the

mushrooms scroll way up the screen, and you'll have plenty of time to kill the e while the mushrooms

come back down. Remember, if you scroll the mushrooms way up the screen, you won't be able to fire

very fast. You'll have to take single shots, making sure you hit the e each time.

* You can have a maximum of 4 DDT bombs on the screen at any given time. Wait until either the e is right

next to one or there is a heavy concentration of enemies before setting it off.

* Beetles can cause a lot of problems if they aren't dealt with quickly. Of course, if you have your mushroom

corridor set up, they may be a blessing. Since they create relatively indestructible flowers in their path, this

would help prevent you from shooting them accidentally. Of course, you still have to worry about the

Spiders and DDT bombs.

* Keep track of where the Earwigs move across the screen. As soon as the e hits a poisoned mushroom,

it will immediately head for the bottom of the screen. The only way to stop this headlong plunge is to shoot

it in the head. In the later rounds, it is not uncommon to have multiple Earwigs going across the screen.

They also provide the most points in the game.

* If you get unlucky and let the e into your area, you need to destroy it before it gets to the bottom of the

player area. Once it reaches the bottom, it will ascend again and remain in the player area.

If it does reach the bottom of the player area, another head will come out from the opposite side to start its

back and forth march across the screen. This will continue until you destroy all the e parts in the player

area or until your Archer is destroyed.

* If your Archer gets destroyed, all partially-destroyed mushrooms and all poisoned mushrooms are reset.

Flowers created by beetles are also changed back into mushrooms. You then start at the beginning of the

wave you got killed on.

* Depending on the difficulty the machine is set up at, the following events occur :

1) At easy, the Spider moves slowly up to 10,000 points. At hard, the Spider moves slowly up to 5,000 points.

2) At easy, the Beetle moves slowly up to 400,000 points and four Beetles appear in each round after 500,000

points. At hard, the Beetle moves slowly up to 300,000 points and four Beetles appear in each round after

350,000 points.

3) Regardless of setting, the Inchworm will move faster after the player reaches 80,000 points.

4) All other enemies move at their same speeds.
