Snake traces its roots to Blockade, a 1976 arcade cabinet by Gremlin Industries where two players steered growing lines across a screen. The concept exploded in popularity when Nokia pre-installed Snake on the 6110 handset in 1997, eventually shipping on over 350 million phones worldwide. The mechanic is elegantly simple: guide a growing line, eat to extend, and survive as long as possible. That simplicity made Snake one of the most universally recognized video games in history. Even Google pays homage with a hidden Snake easter egg you can trigger right from the search page. Decades later, the core loop of dodging your own tail remains just as compelling on a modern browser as it was on a tiny Nokia screen.
