Snake Game Port is only 56 Bytes big & fits in a QR Code.

In the years since 1997, the landmark release of the Nokia 6110 and its inclusion of Snake, we have seen the game is ported to countless devices. This DOS version of Snake does have one key glitch that makes it more challenging to play than your typical versions of Snake.

Previously, Snake slither onto Raspberry Pi Pico and even a Raspberry Pi RP2040 LED array. Snake ports are so lax in terms of hardware requirements that they're even possible on any modern RGB keyboard with individually addressable keys, which I first experienced with Zaneo's Corsair (K70) RGB Snake game.

Like Tetris (1984) and Pong (1972), Snake (1997) is an all-time staple of low-spec gaming, especially on mobile devices. It's also proof that fun gameplay doesn't necessarily require the most GPU-punishing graphics on the market — even the original Pac-Man (1980) is only about 24 kilobytes. But as this project proves, fun gameplay doesn't need a full kilobyte — it seems to start around 60 regular bytes.

If you fancy yourself a finesser, you must play this version of Snake without inputting backward inputs (as soon as you have more than three length), lest you immediately devour yourself and die. Usually, Snake doesn't make self-devouring this easy, so you have to be ultra-precise with your movements to play this DOS port of Snake adequately, which is a suitable bump in difficulty for the retro OS and hardware, even if it's a glitch.

It works perfectly fine in DOSBox and the web app, at least in terms of game speed.


🐍 Artist: #GIDE / #VitaliyGide1 in City: #Kyiv /Софіївська Борщагівка / Ukraine 🇺🇦 01/2025 - Title: untitled - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Snake #Astronaut #SprayArt 💙💛
Streetartwall. A very beautiful mural of a young woman in manga style was sprayed/painted on a street wall. The woman with wavy, pink/blonde hair wears an astronaut helmet in the shape of a green snake head and looks seriously into the distance. According to the artist, the mural means that the astronaut wants to conquer new worlds and that the snake is the symbol for the year 2025. It is her talisman and is intended to help her carry out a successful expedition to unite the inhabitants of Earth with other civilizations for a common, bright future.


#FolkloreMoment : Once, a man encountered a snake who followed him home. He grew very fond of the snake, and one day she told him: "If you were to marry me, you would have no cause for complaints."

After thinking it over, he agreed. Then he took a ring from her tail, and they went to an inn. In the evening, while the other guests were still dancing, the man and the snake went to bed.

Around midnight, the snake turned into a beautiful woman, and the man "found this shape very enjoyable". She kept this shape ever since.

#FolkloreMoment : Once, a woman said that she would like to marry - but she did not want to bear any children, as she was terribly afraid of the pains of birth.

The couple went to their local priest, who said that he was unable to help them. So he sent them to the pope.

The pope said that he could help her, if she followed his instructions exactly. Then the pope told her that he could help her - if she agreed to follow his instructions exactly.

The woman agreed, and then the pope arranged for her to spend the night in a room with a snake.

The next morning, the woman was dead - but her wish was fulfilled, for now she would never give birth.
