Yea....yer right. Not like Centipede was a big success or anything....

Kangaroo....now *that* was a dog....

Donkbaca:
Right... because if it was successful it must be good, so DDR is the best arcade game of all time.

boardjunkie:
Guess anyone who likes Centipede is mentally deficient then. You must be of the fighting game generation. I grew up with and appreciate the "golden age" games....I could care less about most games made after 1985. I must have built 100 fighters from Golden Axe on up and never wanted to play a single one of them.....

Donkbaca:
I never said they were mentally deficient, just that they have a low entertainment threshold.  I appreciate "golden age games"  but centipede really isn't that fun.  Its a game that cashed in on the trackball novelty. You honestly tell me that can't pass by a centipede without wanting to put a quarter in it?  Can you honestly play that game for more than 20 mins?

releasedtruth:
I love that we're debating the merits of a fellow enthusiast's opinion. I think the dedication is pretty amazing. It's almost like reading a blog of modern games, just 30 years late. Great stuff "IMO"  First time I've seen the site and I definitely agree in principle with most assessments and it's given me a list of games I haven't even played yet.

Good work, Zach. Don't let the surly elite get you down.
