Skiing looks only slightly better than my first attempts to write video games in BASIC. I printed a random race track from the bottom, which scrolled up, and a car at the top trying to drive downward through the track.

The speed of the snakes may be related to the length. The VIC-20 only has fixed-position 8x8 character graphics, which can be redefined. If you want to simulate sprites that appear to move smoothly, you have to redefine 2 or more characters that get updated in real time to show the movement. There aren't enough unique characters to fill the whole screen, but you can reuse characters.

That might be true about the speed of the snakes! Great comment, John!

Sqoon, just a few short years later, so much superior in every way... but I'm probably increasing the price of the cart by mentioning it. :-/

Which version of Serpentine did you like the most? Apple II or Atari 800?

I gotta give the nod to the Atari version. I'm partial to the Atari joystick rather than the Analog Joystick of the Apple II (At least for this game)
