- Centipede (Atari 2600) online game (atarionline.org)
In Atari 2600 Centipede, the main objective is to shoot all the segments of a centipede as it winds its way down the playing field. The centipede moves horizontally across the screen, and when it hits a mushroom or the edge of the screen, it drops down one row and changes direction. The player controls a small bug blaster at the bottom of the screen, firing shots at the centipede and other enemies such as spiders, scorpions, and fleas. (Millipede, released in 1982, is the arcade sequel to Centipede. It features more gameplay variety and a wider array of insects than the original game.)
- Cornbread (graffiti artist) (Wikipedia)
Darryl McCray (born 1953), better known by his tagging name Cornbread, is an American graffiti writer from Philadelphia. He is widely considered the world’s first modern graffiti artist. McCray was raised in Brewerytown, a neighborhood of North Philadelphia. During the late 1960s, he and a group of friends started doing graffiti in Philadelphia, by writing their monikers on walls across the city. Independently to Philadelphia, the graffiti movement was evolving in New York City and blossomed into the modern graffiti movement, which reached its peak in the U.S. in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then spread to Europe. McCray later worked with the Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network and Mural Arts Program to help combat the spread of graffiti in the city. He is currently a public speaker and a youth advocate.
