I think that came with QBasic. There was another game as well, does anyone remember it?

If the snake hits itself you would either game over or lose a life. Some versions added in levels where there were walls you had to avoid as well.

Yeah, we used to play that on the computers at school in about 1997. That was a cool game. Nothing quite like throwing banana bombs at each other.:) Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice. Mind if I go out with her?" - Jörgen Sigvardsson

That brings back memories of writing Apple Basic code back when I first started programming. I was a little behind the times so I never programmed in QBasic or GWBasic but instead jumped from Apple Basic to C++. Those were the days... Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice.

Really? Hmm... coulda sworn I did that with VC++ and got the same results as Nish. Now, let's see Nish do GUI programming with results the same as the "Hello World" from Petzold using his GWBasic. ;) William E. Kempf

Yep, I became so good at it that I could finish all the levels three times over until I got bored :-) It had an interesting bug though, sometimes, when you finish all the little apples and exit via the trap door, the next level doesn't start, you just remain with a room full of apples piling up. What's the difference between a C++ programmer and God? God knows he's not a C++ programmer : anon
