Play Serpentine Online
You’re a neon worm dodging your own tail while power-ups flip the script—one wrong move and you’re a tangled mess. Two players can fight over the same keyboard, elbows flying.
Game Overview
Serpentine on MS-DOS was basically Snake on steroids—same simple idea, but way more chaotic. You start as this tiny neon worm, sliding around a grid, eating dots to grow longer while trying not to crash into yourself. Then suddenly, enemies show up, power-ups drop in, and if you were lucky enough to have a friend nearby, you could both cram onto the same keyboard for some frantic multiplayer.
What I loved was how it tricked you into thinking it was easy at first. Just a few minutes in, though, and you’d be sweating, watching your tail spiral into an inescapable trap because you got greedy for one last dot. The speed ramps up fast, and those power-ups? Some helped, others… well, let’s just say they didn’t always go as planned. It’s pure ’90s arcade goodness—simple, punishing, and weirdly hypnotic even now.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
