The Aim of the Game
1 or 2 Players
Shoot the SPECTIPEDES which head for you avoiding MUSHROOMS as
they go. Hit the body and they split in two. FLEAS descend
leaving new Mushrooms behind, they need two hits to kill them,
and speed up after the first hit. SCORPIONS wander across
poisoning any Mushrooms they touch. Spectipedes drop straight
to the bottom when they run into a poisoned Mushroom. Beware
of the SPIDER who will try to jump on you.

NOTES
Much cloned game, originally titled Centipede. Mastertonic
converted it to the Spectrum and changed the first part of the
name likewise.
