I think this is Sir Jeffrey of Minters first C64 game, originally released on the HESWARE label. This is a Centipede clone with a few extra wrinkles like the two perimeter enemies. Otherwise, this is what Mr Minter made his name doing, taking an arcade classic and turning it into something very much in his hairy image. As always, the game makes up for its simplistic graphics with a fast, compelling arcade experience requiring the sort of twitch reflexes I, alas, no longer appear to possess!
