Serpentine

Serpentine is a video game in the action genre developed by Brøderbund Software, Inc. and published by Brøderbund Software, Inc. originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on DOS, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, VIC-20.

In Serpentine you control a multi-segmented snake in a maze; your goal is to survive and earn as many points as possible. At the beginning of each level, three enemy snakes will enter the maze. To complete the level, you have to eat all the enemy snakes. If an enemy snake has more segments than your snake, you can only eat the segments that form the snake's tail; a collision with the head is lethal! Each time you eat a segment, the enemy snake will get smaller until you can finally devour it completely. For enemy snakes that have fewer segments than you, you can eat the tail segments or the head segment. Occasionally, a frog will appear in the maze; eating it will make your snake grow. Both your snake and enemy snakes will leave eggs from time to time; if you leave them alone, they will hatch (your eggs will give you an extra life, enemy eggs will hatch another snake). Eggs can also be eaten to remove them from the playing field, so it's usually a good idea to eat enemy eggs before a new snake hatches. The maze changes with each level, and the enemy snakes get bigger and harder to catch.
