Nibbles game

Nibbles is a simple video game. Snake is a variant of it. Its object is to navigate a virtual snake (or worm) through an enclosed space, while consuming objects along the way. The objects vary from numbers to apples, according to the particular version of this frequently copied game. The player must also avoid colliding with walls or obstacles. After a certain number of objects have been eaten, the player progresses to the next level, usually involving harder obstacles and/or higher game speeds. The game has existed mostly unchanged since it was introduced in the early 1980s.

It received a great boost in popularity when a version of it was included with some releases of MS-DOS – Microsoft's 24kB QBasic version was copyrighted 1990 – and the game was thus available on almost every PC for a while. Nibbles experienced a revival in the early 21st century thanks to the proliferation of cellular phone versions of the game.
