Play Arcade Classic No. 2 : Millipede & Centipede Online

I picked up Arcade Classic No. 2: Millipede & Centipede for the Game Boy back in 1995, a Nintendo release that bundled two of the arcade hits into one portable cartridge. It was a time when having these kinds of arcade conversions in your pocket felt like a small miracle, even if the hardware had its limits. The game didn't try to reinvent anything; it just delivered straightforward, frantic shooting that fit right into the handheld's library of quick-play titles.

You control a small shooter at the bottom of the screen, moving left and right to avoid incoming insects while firing upward to destroy them. The main goal is to survive as long as possible, clearing waves of centipedes that break apart when hit, along with spiders, fleas, and other pests that clutter the playfield. Key mechanics include blasting mushrooms to clear paths for your shots and watching carefully for the dreaded spider that darts unpredictably toward your position. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty spikes quickly, demanding sharp reflexes and constant attention. It feels tense and immediate, especially when you're just one hit from a game over but determined to beat your last score.
