Nightcrawler - Rabbit Software - VIC-20 - Emulated, Pantheon - Level 00 - 24,603 points.

Nightcrawler is a Centipede clone for the unexpanded VIC-20. It was released in 1982 by Rabbit Software. The author was Jimmy Huey, who several years later was part of the team that created Shantae.

This is a pretty solid Centipede game. The game features Centipedes, Mushrooms, Spiders and Fleas. There is also a Pac-man that crosses the lower playfield and can be a right nuisance.

This run was made on the 27th May 2024, using the Pantheon emulator on PC. There are no skill levels and the score reached was 24,603 points.
