Set over 200 years before the original Castlevania, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse follows Trevor Belmont, retainer of the Belmont clan and wielder of the Vampire Killer whip, as he quests to destroy the evil Dark Lord and his minions. You can be joined by nimble thief, Grant DeNasty, the witch Sypha Belnades, or Dracula's own son, Alucard. Or, for those looking for an extra challenge, decline all help and attempt to defeat Dracula using only Trevor.

Several hundred years have passed
since legendary hero Simon Belmont defeated the evil Count Dracula and sealed
him away for what was supposed to be eternity. The people have long
forgotten about the horror of the undead, thus allowing a few depraved
individuals to restore the Prince of Darkness to his former state; sleeping
in his coffin by day and preying upon hapless victims by night.

Dracula now plans to get revenge on his old enemy through his descendants
by locking Annet, the girlfriend of Belmont's great gradson, Richter, and her
sister, Maria, in his dark gloomy castle.

Once aware of this, Richter takes his ancestor's sacred whip, passed down
through the years from father to son, and sets out for Dracula's castle to
rescue Annet and Maria, and to seal away the evil Count for good.

Centipede is a vertically oriented shoot 'em up arcade game produced by Atari, Inc. in 1981. It was ported to the Game Boy in 1995

The player is represented by a small, "somewhat humanoid head" at the bottom of the screen, later depicted as a caped, elf-like character on the Atari 2600, Atari 5200 and Atari 7800 cartridge graphics (though described as being a garden gnome in the trivia section of the cell phone interpretation). The player moves the character about the bottom area of the screen with a trackball and fires laser shots at a centipede advancing from the top of the screen down through a field of mushrooms. Shooting any section of the centipede creates a mushroom; shooting one of the middle segments splits the centipede into two pieces at that point. Each piece then continues independently on its way down the board, with the first section of the rear piece becoming a new head. If the head is destroyed, the section behind it becomes the next head.

The centipede starts at the top of the screen, traveling either left or right. When it hits a mushroom or the edge of the screen, it drops one level and switches direction. Thus, more mushrooms on the screen cause the centipede to descend more rapidly. The player can destroy mushrooms by shooting them, but each takes four hits to destroy.

If the centipede reaches the bottom of the screen, it moves back and forth within the player area and one-segment "head" centipedes are periodically added. This continues until the player has eliminated both the original centipede and all heads. When all the centipede's segments are destroyed, a new centipede forms at the top of the screen. Every time a centipede is eliminated, however, the next one is one segment shorter and is accompanied by one additional, fast-moving "head" centipede. A player loses a life when hit by a centipede or another enemy, such as a spider or a flea. The flea leaves mushrooms behind when fewer than five are in the player area, though the number required increases with level of difficulty. Spiders move across the player area in a zig-zag fashion and occasionally eat some of the mushrooms.

Scorpions poison every mushroom they touch, but these never appear in the player's movement region. A centipede touching a poisoned mushroom hurtles straight toward the player's area. Upon reaching the player's area, the centipede returns to normal behavior.

In Centipede, players control a magic wand that is used to square off against a horde of nasty bugs that make their way through a mushroom patch.

The Flea falls straight down towards the player, laying fresh mushroom in its path. The Scorpion runs from side to side across the screen, turning mushrooms into poisonous toadstool, which cause the Centipede to behave irrationally and dive bomb the player. Spiders jump up and down towards the player; the closer he is, the more points are earned (300, 600, 900) . And the Centipede makes it way down the playing field. Shooting segments cause the Centipede to split off and form multiple targets.

Shooting any bug turns it into a mushroom, which can block (or speed up) the bugs on the playing field. If any of the bugs touch the wand, it's lose a life until Game Over.

Centipede was created by Ed Logg, and used a trackball in the original arcade version.

Centipede is a vertically-oriented shoot 'em up arcade game produced by Atari in 1980. The game was designed by Ed Logg along with Dona Bailey, one of the only female game programmers in the industry at this time. It was also the first arcade coin-operated game to have a significant female player base. The player defends against swarms of insects, completing a round after eliminating the centipede that winds down the playing field.

A fixed shooter. The player must eliminate the centipede that is making its way down the screen. Any laser blast that hits the centipede will transform that section of the centipede into a mushroom, which in turn, will increase the centipede's descent down the board. If a center section of the centipede is shot, then the centipede will split in two, thus increasing the difficulty.

Venture into an enchanted forest filled with magic mushrooms that is ruled by a giant centipede along with poisonous spiders, scorpions and fleas. You go to battle against these evil creatures armed with three magic wands. If they reach ylou before you zap them, they'll snatch your wand away. But, don't be faint-hearted, stand and fight!

Hundreds and thousands of them. Creepy ones. Crawly ones. Buzzing ones. Swarming ones. And they're all trying to get you. Before you get them.

In Centipede, the player is trapped in the Enchanted Forest. Armed with only a magic wand to ward off the forest's insect denizens, all of which apparently are attacking in the player in continuous waves.

The player shoots sparks at approaching insects to score points by pressing the controller button. Holding down the controller button will set the wand to rapid fire shots.

Chain Reaction is played in a style and gameplay similar to Compile's (now Sega's) Puyo Puyo and Taito's Puzzle Bobble franchises; a "stack" of random colored bubbles descend from the top, and a player is defeated when a bubble hits the bottom. Bubbles can be picked up and dropped by the player's "clown" at the bottom, and are destroyed when three or more of the same color are put together on a single column. "Chains" are formed either when a single drop caused a chain reaction, or when more than one group of bubbles is destroyed in quick succession. The game is normally played with two players (one may be a computer opponent), and chains cause the opponent's stack to descend faster.

A follow-up to the original Lode Runner, with useridentical gameplay. This package contained 50 of the most challenging levels ever designed, and was intended for expert players only. It did not include the level editor, you had to play through the levels in order, but a save-game option was provided (although you lost one life every time you restored).
