Centaurian is an arcade-style space game reminiscent of Bosconian, a
Midway-Namco arcade game from the early 1980's. Players battle through
enemy-controlled zones, destroying Centaurian bases and confronting a
variety of enemy ships and mines to reach the Centaurus colony. There are
a number of ship enhancements which can be found or purchased to assist in
the mission, and there are nine different bonus screens (Admiral Zorg's
Challenges) modeled after classic arcade games.
The game is shareware ($18). The unregistered game is fully functional
but limited to any set of eight zones per game (selected by the player
from among the first 38 or so zones). Registered users gain access to all
60 zones (including the final confrontation with the Centaurian leader),
load/save game features, secret cheat codes, and the level editor.
