Bored at work?Or maybe just tired of playing the game on your snazzy Nokia Cell.. needless to say I find time to play this every day. All praise "The Snake Game". The only downside which makes Nokia's cellphone far superior, is unless you have a laptop and perhaps a wireless NIC at work, it is probably impossible to play the game while you sit in the bathroom.

Hm. The snake game was written in Javascript, supporting my recent theory: any sufficiently complex technology will eventually include a scripting language which can produce emulations of really old Atari games. Anybody ever play Snake on a TI-85?

Also, on the Nokia version, you can use the "corner keys", 7, 9, 1 and 3 to make quick U-turns.

Man, I played Snake, Tetris, and connected 2-player Pong on my TI-85. Those were the days.

I remember playing SLYNX in 1984 on my old old old PC.

Who wrote that first anyway?

I remember playing it in QBasic a few years back in Junior High in computer class.

I played Snake on my Apple //c more than a decade ago, killing time waiting for Mom to call me to dinner. I now have a Nokia 6120 and I play Snake waiting on lines or before appointments. What goes around comes around.
