[edit] Cover Image
There should be inserted an image about the cover of the game in the table which describes many different aspects of Centipede, such as developer, publisher, genre, etc; it would be great if someone could upload an image of the cover of the game and insert it in this table.

[edit] Screen Shots
We need to upload and insert images about the game,such as screen shots; now, I do not really know how to upload images and would be very gratefull if someone who knows how would do so.

[edit] Motivation for the WP:CVG assessment
As an assessment was specifically requested on the assessment page, I will motivate my assessment briefly:
Stub-class:
-
- Many small stub sections make a stub article.
- Article itself has stub categories.
- No external links for further reading make it difficult to read further.
- It has the information expected from a stub (a short list of facts) but nothing more.
Low-importance:
-
- No influence on genre.
- No large community at present.
- For Computer and Video Games, this is low importance. FPS or Atari related WikiProjects might find this article more important.

[edit] 2nd VG Assessment
Requested again, assessed again. Still a stub. Here's some more tips for improving the article:
Look, here's how it is. The article how it stands is a series of 1 or 2 sentence sections, followed by a big completely unnecessary table. There is not a part of the article that does not need to be completely rewritten. Here's some ideas- first off, the lead needs to not assume that the reader knows what Centipede is, much less that they have played the 1980's Centipede. You need to start off the article with a paragraph describing what the game is. (note- when I say paragraphs, I mean 4-6 sentences) Follow it up with a "Gameplay" section, which will describe how the game works. Don't divide it into subsections that are less than one "paragraph". This section should include the "campaign" and "arcade" distinctions, though it should not be the first thing it says. Next! The table- cut it. It is just not useful. Think about it- who, upon reading an article about a game, and who is trying to learn about what the game is, needs to know/cares about the fact that the spider is worth 900 points when it's far away but 300 points when it's closer? Answer- no one. Get rid of the table entirely. Merge the pictures/gamplat diffs between 1998 and 1980s versions into the "gameplay section, though put the images up on the sides, not in a text breaking table. Finally, try to create a reception section, with what reviewers said about it. It'll be pretty hard for this game, but try anyways. After that, try to find references, and cite them with ref tags.
Please go to WP:VG and scroll to the bottom. Check out the "GA"s and "FA"s. Those are what this article should look like. --PresN 16:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
