I thought the 5200 was pretty good.  Let's face it, the best versions were Atari's.  I wonder why... ;)

There have been a couple of modern updates to this game over the years.

The first one is for the Sony PlayStation 1

That is one clone that looks better then some of the actual ports. Do you think Ultrapro would do a video of DC Centipede?
