Deadline reports that Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films has teamed with Atari to produce big screen adaptations of Centipede and Missile Command.
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Atari’s Missile Command and Centipede games are heading to the big screen.
Although Atari has updated Missile Command and Centipede over the years, these games resonate more with people who grew up in or were already grown-up in the ’80s.
Atari debuted their Missile Command and Centipede games in 1980 — Missile Command required players to hit missiles before they destroyed six cities in California, while Centipede called for you to destroy the titular bugs along with spiders and other creepy-crawlies using a shooter that scrolled back and forth.
