So ive been playing my centipede since i got it up and running last night. My high score is a pathetc 34310. So what is the secret? Also what score would you consider for a person to be considered good at centipede?

Thanks,
 
My high score is 74XXX. I practice staying away from the sides as much as I can. Thats where the spiders will hone in on you and kill you instantly.
 
just got my centipede up and running today. only played it once. I'll let you know how i do.
 
hey, I'm working on the Q*bert and pics will be up soon.

as far as my score on centipede, the first real time playing I got 23,914
 
IIRC, my centipede games go in ~30k point cycles...

Without bug traps and spider hunting, it's 30k-ish to go through an entire cycle of full centipedes down to all heads, and if you can get back to all heads, you can build up some extra lives to get through the all head levels.

When I first got my first centipede all the high scores were 180-200k. I got up into the low 180's pretty quickly, but it look quite a while before I broke through to the next cycle and got into the 210s and 240s to take over the list.

I still suck, but a normal game is still 180ish... best game was 450k, but it wasn't on my machine :(
 
I hated this game BITD, always died too quickly...Damn Spiders!
Of course when I started collecting games I needed one my wife wanted to play to keep her happy, so I picked up my Centipede.
I've gotten better over time, average around 40K with a high score of 71K.
I'll have to try some of those techniques.
