Snakes Game

Ah, Snakes—the classic MS-DOS gem that turned a simple concept into hours of addictive fun! Picture this: you’re controlling a slithering snake, gobbling up dots to grow longer while dodging walls and your own ever-expanding tail. Sounds easy? Think again. One wrong move, and it’s game over. This minimalist masterpiece was the ultimate test of reflexes and strategy, a precursor to the snake games that later dominated early mobile phones.
What made it stand out? Pure, unfiltered nostalgia. No flashy graphics, no complicated controls—just you, a pixelated serpent, and the relentless challenge of survival. It was the kind of game that had you leaning into the screen, muttering "just one more try" as the snake spiraled into chaos. If you’ve ever craved a dose of old-school gaming charm, Snakes delivers it in spades. Simple, punishing, and utterly irresistible.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
