Was there ever a good Centipede for the ZX81?

[JohnsBargs]

A good one, I said, not that crappy Jeff Minter effort with a blank starting screen and no vertical movement.

Seems weird that I can't find any others, it was a staple of the era and should have been well within even the limited capabilities of the Zeddy. If the Atari VCS can manage it...

I did start work on a version, but Melkhior’s Mansion, and trying to make it a perfect clone, got in the way. I may well resurrect it in the future though.

Melkhior's bloody Mansion is ruining EVERYTHING.

Very true - it’s ruined a few good cups of tea when I’ve been concentrating on coding it instead of pouring the kettle

I’m sure there’s a way to embed tweets into a thread, but until I work it out here’s a video of the conversion...

That looks fantastic, and WAY more important than some BORING Knight Lore knockoff that's STILL not finished

That looks absolutely top banana. Or should that be top mushroom?

Anyway, what everyone else said: finish that, it'll be worth it. Melkhior's Mansion can wait!

Wow, that looks like the hard work is already done. Hope you get around to finishing it.

You wait 40 years for a decent ZX81 Centipede and now we've got Zedipede AND this
