The Snake variety of games dates back to the arcade game Blockade,[1][2] developed and published by Gremlin in 1976.[3] In 1978, Atari, Inc. released, as an unofficial port, an early home console version of the Blockade concept, titled Surround.[4] Surround was one of the nine Atari 2600 (VCS) launch titles, and was also sold by Sears under the name Chase. That same year, a similar game was launched for the Bally Astrocade as Checkmate.[5]
The first known personal computer version of Snake, titled Worm, was programmed in 1978 by Peter Trefonas of the US on the TRS-80 computer,[1] and published by CLOAD magazine in the same year. This was followed shortly afterwards with versions from the same author for the Commodore PET and Apple II computers. A microcomputer port of Hustle was first written by Peter Trefonas in 1979 and published by CLOAD.[6] This was later released by Milton Bradley for the TI-99/4A in 1980.[7]
Snake by Computer Concepts on the BBC Micro
There were several versions of Snake on the BBC Micro. 1982's Snake by Dave Bresnen was different in that the snake was controlled using the left and right arrow keys relative to the direction it was heading in. The snake increases in speed as it gets longer, and there are no "lives", making achieving a high score or reaching higher levels relatively difficult as one mistake means starting from the beginning.
A variant called Nibbles was included with MS-DOS for a period of time as a QBasic sample program.
An analog joystick-controlled variant of Snake, called Anaconda, was included as a hidden minigame in TimeSplitters 2, which featured free rotation instead of a fixed 4-direction system, and multiple types of food.
More recent versions include a Neopets version known as Meerca Chase. Snake can be played on YouTube videos that use the 2010 version of the player. When a video is selected, the user can press the 'left' key, the 'right' key, the 'home' key, or the 'end' key for any period of time before immediately pressing the 'up' key. The game will appear and can be played in the videoscreen.[8] Until 2012, a version called Old Snakey could be played inside Gmail.[9][10]
Bet some of you never heard of this game before . . . It's a board game designed to reinforce Christian values. It's a take off from the original version Game Of Life, by Milton Bradley.
I was given this game in early 2000 by a friend. The game was introduced in 1985 (Trademark) Sound Principals. I was somewhat familiar with the game, but can't play this one as some pieces are missing.
GENEROSITY encourages basic Christian values through lifelike, situational play. The object of the game is to lay up treasure in heaven by serving others through properly motivated generosity. Dealing with real-life issues like occupation, proper use of money, marriage, having a family, helping your neighbour, and having a right attitude, each step on the full-colour game board presents a thrilling challenge and exciting opportunities for adding to your "Heavenly Treasure Chest." Win or lose, the whole family will have an opportunity to learn and exercise Christian principles through this fun-filled family game.

After a long winter I think I had forgotten the joy of taking out my camera. This evening as my wife played around with a soccer ball I followed along shooting from ground level, I may have looked silly but boy did I have fun. It's the simple things sometimes...

I sat watching these two cock Pheasants sizing each other up for ten minutes before they exploded into a fight, pretty aggressive stuff the feathers were flying everywhere.
Because we could definitely use some! Just started Pokemon X tonight, like five minutes ago, actually. My son was so stoked he started it up in Panera!
Fancy a game? There was a time when there were two pinball machines in here as well. Those were the days.
I have begun making a new gaming table. The dimensions are 4' x 4', and I have ordered folding shelves so that I may have two extra feet on either side of the table that can extend its width to eight feet.
I didn't take a picture of my previous gaming table, but the best shot I have of it is here. I felt it needed to be bigger, better built, and have a better paint job.
