Clearing all bases unlocks the next stage, and difficulty climbs steadily through the run.Authoring and EngineThe game was built by David Dobson using the Sprite Animation Toolkit, a popular Mac game library of the period that powered many shareware arcade titles.System RequirementsCentaurian is a 68k Macintosh title compatible with System 7.0 through 7.6 and Mac OS 9, distributed as classic Mac shareware.CompatibilityThe original binary runs on era hardware and is reliably playable today through SheepShaver and Basilisk II emulation.
