Game Overview
Ah, Snipes—the OG multiplayer maze chase that had early PC gamers hunched over their keyboards in the '80s! This text-mode classic turned simple ASCII characters into a surprisingly addictive battleground, where you and a friend (or the computer) dueled as little arrow-shaped "snipes" laying traps and dodging each other’s moves. Think Snake meets Tron Light Cycles, but with way more sneaky strategy and frantic backspace-key mashing.What made Snipes stand out? It was one of the first games to let you network PCs together (mind-blowing at the time!), turning office or school labs into impromptu gaming arenas. No flashy graphics—just pure, competitive chaos where a wrong turn meant plowing into a wall or your opponent’s trail. Simple? Absolutely. Hilariously fun? You bet. For retro gamers, it’s a pixel-free time capsule of early multiplayer mischief.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
