Turning Atari’s Centipede into a board game sounds like a questionable idea—but Milton Bradley did far more than paste familiar artwork onto an unrelated children’s game. In this video, I set up and play the officially licensed 1983 Centipede board game, explore designer Bruce Whitehill’s unusual arcade research, and see how the segmented centipedes, mushrooms, cannons, spider and scorpion translate to the tabletop. The result includes some genuinely clever strategy and a wonderful sense of movement, although the spinner can occasionally leave one player at the mercy of some very unlucky turns. It may not recreate the speed of the arcade classic, but it clearly understands what made Centipede recognizable. Did you play this one—or another board game based on a classic arcade game?

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox A fake sick day, a borrowed Ferrari, a principal on the warpath, and one unforgettable parade through downtown Chicago. In this Backtrack, we’re revisiting Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John Hughes’ classic 1986 comedy about skipping school, seizing the moment, and somehow making it all look effortless. Forty years later, we’ll talk about why Ferris, Cameron, Sloane, and the city of Chicago still connect with Gen X fans — and why life really does move pretty fast.
