Ever completed Snake? This guy has

10 April 2013

One of the best things about older mobile phones was the chance to play Snake every time you had an opportunity to sit down for a few minutes.

The challenge of the game also contributed to its nostalgia, but while it may seem relatively impossible, someone has managed to complete the game.

A gif image hit the internet a few days ago, and was passed around on Reddit faster than you can say “Nokia 3310”.

The gif shows a perfect execution of the game, as all the pellets are consumed without the snake touching a wall or its tail, culminating in the snake eating its last pellet, which makes it 801 blocks – one block bigger than the playing field.

The game then has no “real” ending, and instead finished with a kill-screen.

There was speculation of whether it’s a bot or human-controlled simulation, however, due to the irregular movements of the snake, its suggested that it was in fact being controlled by a human.
