Snake
Snake was developed by UPL and published by Sega-Gremlin in 1976. Due to the game's simple design, other developers created their own version of the game and released it under different names such as Worm, Surround, and Chase. Snake's popularity didn't surface until 1998 when Nokia included the game on their phones. Snake has saved my life many times in airports, at doctor appointments, or anywhere else that involved waiting. The gameplay is simple enough for anyone to pick up and enjoy. There are many free versions on this game online (just Google 'snake' and viola!).

oh man snake is one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteSnake is pretty damn classic... gets boring after a short while but it's a game you can just randomly play and have fun for a bit. Not sure where my vote will go.
ReplyDeleteIf I judge by time spend playing each game, my vote is for Tetris. My god how many hours have I spend on that one alone. Luckily I was still a kid and had this kind of time on my hands.
ReplyDeleteI'll always remember this as the "Nibbler" when I was a kid. I still play it on my phone when I get bored.
ReplyDeletegreat background on this
ReplyDeleteWow, I gotta get this on my cell phone again
ReplyDeletesnake on nokia, all my friends played it

Oh my god, I never ever got tired of this game, simply got a new non-Nokia phone. It really is the best.
ReplyDeletewow I didn´t knew Snake was that old: 1976.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I had this game and no others on my very first cell phone. Good times.
ReplyDeleteSnake was the best game, I could play it for hours with out getting bored
