Release Date: 1997

Original Platform: Nokia phones

Played On: iOS

Objective: Eat dots to grow longer but make sure not to hit your own tail!

How it Works: The gameplay is all described in the objective. You control a line (your "snake") that can turn left or right, with your tail following the same pattern. You must steer into dots that randomly spawn on the screen. When grabbed, your snake grows longer. Each version of Snake adds a different length for each dot. The game is over when you collide with either the wall or your tail.

Thoughts: I remember playing a lot of Snake programmed on my TI-83 calculator. It's an extremely simple and addicting game that's perfect for wasting time. I actually prefer it to many of the arcade games I've played out of the book.
