Nice snake-varient. Very colourful graphics for its time and very simple gameplay makes this a fun game for everyone to play. The only blemish is that the controls are a bit irresponsive but considering it is a 1983 game it's not really a big deal.

Overall a good fun game for the whole family to enjoy.

Unlike Raphie I can't forgive the unresponsive controls. And while the graphics are colourful, they're not very interesting.
Not Stephen Crow's finest hour.

Stephen Crow established his programming credentials early on with this game proving that he would focus on embellishing someone else's idea for better or worse.
There's quite a lot 'for better' in this Snake variant with various speed and difficulty settings and a snake equipped with a laser to blast with.
The high speed of the snake also makes the most of this soporific genre and various extras are added with each passing level.
The third screen, with its spiral lanes is a real sod, erring on the side of bad design.
Using the Joystick option to help redefine the keys away from the curse of cursor was essential - and made the game seem much more responsive. Perhaps this why I didn't notice the lack of response witnessed by the previous 2 reviewers.
In summary, the extra baddies and laser lift this but its still only a snake game and its current WoS score of over 7 seems very generous.
