Serpentine (video game)

Serpentine is a maze video game written by David Snider for the Apple II and published by Broderbund in 1982.

[2][3] Serpentine's gameplay and visuals are similar to the Konami arcade game, Jungler, released the previous year.

If the player's serpent dies, the replacement regains its original speed, but loses any additional segments gained by the previous incarnation.

[5][6] Softline in 1982 called Serpentine "devilishly addicting, being endowed with the qualities that make arcade games worth the bother".

[11] Westerholm commented that "Serpentine is unquestionably a game worth owning, and if there are any weaknesses or bugs, I have yet to find them.
