Millipede (USA)

In Millipede, players control a "Bug Blaster" cannon at the bottom of the screen. The primary objective is to shoot down various insects that descend from the top. The screen is populated with mushrooms, which act as obstacles but can also be destroyed by shooting them.

The main enemy is the millipede, which appears as a segmented creature. When a segment of the millipede is shot, it turns into a mushroom. If you shoot the millipede's head, the entire creature is destroyed. Millipedes move in a winding path downwards and change direction when they hit a mushroom or the edge of the screen.

In addition to millipedes, players must contend with several other types of insects: Spiders move diagonally, attempting to collide with the player. Fleas drop straight down, leaving mushrooms in their wake. Dung Beetles and Bees move horizontally or drop straight down, with the ability to convert regular mushrooms into poisonous ones, making them harder to destroy. Earwigs move horizontally and destroy mushrooms.

Periodically, the letters "D", "D", "T" will appear on the screen. If the player shoots all three letters, a DDT bomb is activated, clearing a large section of mushrooms and enemies. The game's difficulty increases with each wave, introducing more numerous and faster enemies.
