in the past


A ground-breaking narrative feat that is the pinnacle of in-game storytelling. Sharing the themes of Greek myths 'The Fall of Icarus' and 'Sisyphus', this title blends its simple gameplay loop with a symbolic story about how the players own actions, in an attempt to reach their goal, causes their greed and pride to grow, eventually resulting in their downfall, leading them back to where they started.

Each step you take toward your objective only brings you closer to your inevitable demise; the snake growing bigger with each dot increasing your chances of failure. It's notable that no matter how many times you play, improving your strategy and learning from your mistakes, no matter how good you get, no-one can ever win the game of Snake, only lose it.

Capitalism and its consequences


One of those games that only millenials and early zoomers remember in this version. An addicting classic even if with little to offer.

Yo quería un Nokia solo por ese juego...

Probably the simplest a game can possibly be while still being fun to play. Right up there with Tetris as the rare 80s game concept that is still popular with non-gamers today.

"Türkiyedeki video oyunu tanımının halen eski kuşaklar tarafından bilinmeme nedenlerinden."

Öğrenmesi basit, ustalaşması da basit, şu oyunu hiç oynamadıysanız telefonculardan 400 liraya satın alıp oynayabilirsiniz.

You got games on your phone?

Borrowing your dad's work phone so you can play a bit more Snake before bedtime.

até hj nenhum outro jogo mobile conseguiu superar essa relíquia

When I was a kid my parents had one of those label printers that print the black labels with the white embossed letters. My dad had the Nokia brick phone I used to play Snake on as a kid and once he printed out a label that said "PHAT" and stuck it on the phone. Rip phat phone, I know not where you are nor whether you are still intact but you are forever in my memory

My poor dad never got to use his phone because of this

It's Snake. I don't know how much I can say about it, but it's still fun enough today.

Almost had to beat my little cousin’s ass because he threw my phone across the room after asking if I had games on my phone and I showed him this.

My first phone and my first phone game.
Nokia was an emergency phone so I couldn't use it at all but when I was bored on the playground, I played Snake. I never had a portable system in my youth.

This was one of the first games I've ever played, and as you may have guessed I really only have it on this list because I was curious if they actually had it on this site!

⭐One star for the nostalgia as it kept me company during the long days of chores where I'd sneak away to play with my phone for a tiny reprieve
✨One star for the simplicity and different game modes that offered me a secondary option to my Nokia's Sudoku
🌟One star for having a cool name and aesthetic at the time
