Snake is the greatest game ever created Got spare money?

It's the game on the Nokia cell phones if you don't know what I'm talking about.

OK, so I'm easily amused. But it's the only game I have at work. I don't have access to a computer.

It's the same game as that old Qbasic game isn't it? I think its name was "Nibbles".

Old is good Support Apolyton

Snake, nibble, all the same. I used to remember playing it in the arcade center

Sometime older things are still the best. Simple and good

Got spare money?

I played an early version of snake (called "masken" in Swedish; a "mask" is what birds eat; what a butterfly is before cocooning; I guess "snake" is more appropriate for the 21th century) about 15-17 years ago. It was on a ABC 80 (which later was followed up by ABC 800, my gosh! ).

I held the high school record for a time, but don't remember the score.

I don't have a cell phone. The only reason I can think of for getting one are the games coming with it...

Yes, it was. Never got through level 10.
Then I met Civ... ah, the nostalgia!
But anyway, nibble's levels were much funnier than those in snake. I know that there's not much Nokia can do due to the size of the screen, but hey, that's jsut my opinion.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

i have imr snake for my palmtop. it is very fun
better than sim city classic, but if i had palmtop civ 1/2/3 i would be in heaven. i would play palmtop more than pc!
snake doesnt have levels, just a box, but snake 2 has mazes and no outer box. i prefer the original, so much easier and funner.

Good game, lots of fun - but eventually you'll get bored with it.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I used to play this on the commodore a long time ago. lots of fun. the C64 version was my favorite. you could choose between 3 difficulty levels which gave you no barriers, easy maze, or hard maze. also could choose the speed from 1 to 20. played with a joystick, nobody I met could score even twice on speed 20.
played on speed 1 with no maze, we could let it go on for a long time. eventually we discovered that after the tail became 255 pieces long, it broke off and you became short again. of course the original tail was now a mazelike barrier.

we found a PC version called ibid, but it didn't have the same charm as Viper.

Put an end to popups!

Snake's good
I found a version of it online recently where the snake chases about 6 mice around the game field at any one time. Each one is worth 10 points. Once you get 30 mice, you can advance a level. Get 500 points for an extra life.

Brilliant.
Its under games -> dynamic puzzles -> Snake pit here

boy I must really suck

I play on the nokia 8290. very small buttons and screen. so I have a handicap. .

My score is only around 600. I can't possibly see how I could get it higher. I haven't beaten my high score in quite a while.

Increasing the game speed gives more points.
And if you can't get over 4000 points in a 6210, you suck!
