'''Centipede''' is regarded as the first arcade game designed by a woman, Dona Bailey. It arrived in the arcades in [[1980]] from [[Atari]] and became an instant hit with men and women alike for a number of reasons. It used bright attractive colors throughout the game that alternated between stages. Additionally, it had a simple and intuitive control interface, a [[wp:trackball|trackball]]. Along with a single fire button, it was a game that just about anyone could approach and immediately know what to do. Even the side art was very impressive and inviting. | '''Centipede''' is regarded as the first arcade game designed by a woman, Dona Bailey.
