Meet the unsung female programmer behind Atari’s Centipede

oohlalasassoon says...

I always loved Centipede, partially because it's got one of the coolest cabinet designs, up there with Moon Patrol, Asteroids(and Deluxe), Galaxian, and Lunar Lander.

Pretty sure John Carmack (of Doom fame) was one of the lead software engineers on this project.

Your thinking of Armadillo Aerospace, which lost out slightly to this company, Masten Space Systems, in the NASA and Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge X Prize in 2009 for the level 2 test. Armadillo Aerospace won the level one test, but the second level was a million bucks to the $350k of the first.

Was this the company that got several tries for the contest were Armadillo Aerospace only got one?


Armadillo Aerospace's vehicle could of made another attempt, but they decided against it because of a burned through engine nozzle, and rolled the vehicle at takeoff that caused other damage. Rockets ain't easy!

If any one else loves the original game as much as me(hence the old school gaming tag). This is a pretty good remake of the original vector based atari game...

Found one of these with a broken coin slot (someone had turned on the infinite quarters switch) and spent most of an afternoon having a competition with a friend seeing who could go the fastest straight down before crashing. IIRC you would "abort" button to get some altitude then spin upside down (expert mode) and wall the throttle, adjusting to get into a crevass, not into the side of a mountain.

Good times. Good times.
