Did you know Atari's classic Centipede was the first arcade game designed by a woman? Back in the 1980s Dona Bailey's vertical shooter featured a host of creepy crawlies including a centipede, fleas, spiders and scorpions in a backyard jungle setting. To complete rounds, the player must shoot a centipede before it reaches the playing field.

As part of Glu Mobile's "everything old is new again" partnership with Atari, Centipede is coming back as a mobile game. Although the gameplay of the mobile version of Centipede is close to the original arcade, Glu Mobile gave it a twist of the 21st century with such elements as additional themes, power ups, and upgrades in graphics, control and functionality.

Now on its final stages of development, Centipede for mobile phones is set to launch around the world starting the first quarter of 2007. Other Atari arcade classics following the hundreds of footsteps of Centipede include Asteroids and Super Breakout. Proof that great games don't fade away. They just get ported!

Visiware, the Interactive TV game publisher that recently launched the triple play (TV, mobile, broadband) offer, has published the game Brix Fusion. The game has been developed exclusively for Visiware by Touchlink Mobile, the Danish mobile content developer and publisher, and is to be deployed by Visiware worldwide. Brix Fusion game is based on the classic arcade game.
