Found a Centipede machine in Santa Cruz. I don't think I ever played Centipede with a trackball before, it was fun to try, very fast and intense gameplay.
Got the score 17884.
2016-03-20
Got the score 13564.
I'm horrible at Centipede, and even after playing a few games at the Musée Mécanique, I wasn't able to beat my own hiscore.

Got the score 31500 in MAME.
Apparently, this is easier with a mouse.

This plays fine on PS Now, but I prefer playing with a mouse or trackball.
I played some Centipede using MAME with the new company USB trackball. Using pretty low sensitivity values to avoid 'roll-overs', it feels pretty close to the real arcade machine.

Got the score 6904 in MiSTer.

Got the score 15507.
Centipede with a track ball is the best. I played a frantic game at the 'Pinball Hall of Fame' in Las Vegas.

Got the score 20809.
Musée Mécanique: The Centipede machine was a bit wonky, the trackball would get stuck, making the game a bit less fair.
