What is Snake '97?

Snake '97 is a classic arcade-style snake game that was originally released in 1997. In the game, players guide a snake around a bordered screen, attempting to eat food pellets and grow as large as possible without running into walls or their own ever-lengthening tail.

Gameplay is simple - players use the arrow keys to maneuver the snake around the screen one block at a time. As the snake finds and swallows food pellets, it grows longer, making controlling it progressively more difficult. Each level increases in difficulty as the snake moves faster. The goal is to grow the snake as large as possible without crashing into walls or the snake's own body.

With its pixelated graphics and signature beeping sounds, Snake '97 evokes a strong nostalgic feel. Its addictive, challenging gameplay has cemented its reputation as one of the most iconic arcade games of the early internet era. While its visuals and sounds are charmingly basic by today's standards, it remains popular due to its easy pick-up-and-play mechanics wrapped up in increasingly difficult challenges as the snake grows longer.
