I'm wondering if Dan Van Elderen should be credited on this? Dona Bailey mentioned on her Twitter that Centipede had a 4 person team. The inclusion of Dan Van Elderen came from this interview where it mentioned, "The most important one of all was a suggestion made by Dan Van Elderen, who was in charge of engineering. He asked me why we could not shoot the mushrooms in Centipede."

However, other than this suggestion, I'm not sure that he directly worked on Centipede. The wording seems to imply that he was head of engineering at Atari, not specifically on this title.
