The Aim of the Game



1 or 2 Players



Shoot the SPECTIPEDES which head for you avoiding MUSHROOMS as

they go.  Hit the body and they split in two. FLEAS descend

leaving new Mushrooms behind, they need two hits to kill them,

and speed up after the first hit.  SCORPIONS wander across

poisoning any Mushrooms they touch.  Spectipedes drop straight

to the bottom when they run into a poisoned Mushroom.  Beware

of the SPIDER who will try to jump on you.

NOTES

Much cloned game, originally titled Centipede. Mastertonic

converted it to the Spectrum and changed the first part of the

name likewise.
