Who hasn’t played the snake game? It seems to be everywhere, on our cell phones and notebook menus; the more simple it is the better people enjoy it in the tram on the way to work, in the waiting room when going to the dentist, during a school break or whenever they have to keep boredom away. The snake game is very simple, up, down, left and right, these are the only moves the game allows. While getting around the screen, guide the snake so as to catch or eat the small squares or apples that appear flashing, but make sure not to run the snake in a wall or make it eat its own tail. In more advanced versions of the snake game, you have to move the snake to eat colored apples.
Snake game was launched in the 70s and it has not lost its popularity since then, turning into a classic as years passed. On computers, the snake game started with the Blockade designed by Gremlin in the mid 70s, but the microcomputer variety of the game, known as Worm imposed itself to the public only in 1978. In time all sorts of variations, upgrades and modifications were operated on the snake game, but it is still maintained in its very classical form on Nokia mobiles; more advanced telephone models even have the 3D version of the game.
In the case of the first monochrome phones, the four movement directions in the snake game depended only on black squares. As Nokia technology got to a superior level so did the quality of the standard games incorporated in the menu of a cellular: thus with Nokia 3310, the snake game got a bug bonus feature. Later on, though no content modifications were operated on the snake game, it came to be compatible with multi-player use, bluetooth and infra-red technologies. The rules of the game are very easy to learn regardless of the form in which you play it, plus you will find it stimulating and skill building.
There are also bad bits in accessing snake game on the cell phone; the battery will require recharging a lot sooner if you play extensively. As for the impact on health, playing the snake game is not more harmful than other games in its category. Prolonged focusing on the cell or computer screen may cause headaches, dizziness and other forms of eye troubles, as well as cramping in the neck muscles. There are warnings about the radiation risk when playing snake game on the cell phone, but many users find such claims ridiculous.
