Centipede

Centipede, not one of the most memorable games of its time. Maybe one of the most obscure, but definitely a lot of fun in its day.  

Shoot through a field of mushrooms!.

Controlling your character which looked like a “head” you simply fired at a descending centipede through a field of mushrooms!  This format was imitated in many ways later in the future on other games on many consoles. Nice and simple….and a bit weird!
