COOL!!! Very good rendition of Snake 1997 version, seems to be just like the one I played on my Nokia 1510 years ago, 2,002'ish. I like how there's a choice of "phone overlays" or "covers,"I noticed that the first 4 you get Snake-version 1 where crashing into the outer rectangular wall IS possible. Where with the "phone overlays" of 5, 6 and 7 you get Snake-version 2 where you can THEN go through the outer rectangular wall; that's very helpful to know.😉 So happy to give this a thumbs up.👍🤠👍

Very fun nostalgic experience. Skins scale to the display properly and it plays well with sound effects included. Would love to see space impact remade with this treatment as well

About this app

Play Snake like it is 1997. This is a remake of the original Snake, complete with dot-matrix display and monotone sounds. Rewind time and get a dosis of nostalgia that is as addictive (and frustrating) as the original.

Play Snake '97 and be prepared to lose some productive hours.

Simply launch the app, touch a button and start!

Snake '97 features:
- old school controls
- dot-matrix display
- original monotone sounds (bleep bleep)
- 9 original and 3 extra difficulty levels
- Snake 1 and classic Snake 2
- 7 classic game modes (5110, 3210, 8210, 8850 and 3310, 3410 and 7110 with Snake 2)
- bonus creatures (Snake 2)
- go through the walls! (Snake 2)
- 5 original and 2 extra labyrinths (Snake 2)
- a high score that cannot be reset (just like the original)

The story behind this game is that my smartphone got damaged, requiring me to revert back to an old phone. Suddenly I knew the smartphone was missing something and the idea for a accurate Snake remake was born.

Snake '97 is an homage to the classic mobile phone game programmed in 1997.

By carefully analyzing the classic gameplay, timing and controls, this Snake '97 remake is one of the most accurate available.

Have Snake fun!

The developer,
Willem.
