Centipede

The Story

Atari's most successful upright cabinet, designed by Ed Logg and Donna Bailey — one of the first games designed in part by a woman. The trackball input was chosen specifically to create a different physical experience from joystick games, and it worked: Centipede became one of the first arcade games to draw a significant adult female audience, in an era when arcades were almost exclusively teenage boys.
