The classic Snake game for smartphones

Classic Snake – Nokia 97 Old is a free arcade title created by Sudhakar Kanakaraj for mobile devices. It’s a casual title that aims to replicate the look and feel of playing the classic Snake game that was highly popular with Nokia feature phones back in the day.

Compared to other games that attempt to revolutionize the gameplay of the original like Worms Zone.io or slither.io, Classic Snake – Nokia 97 Old keeps things pretty much close to the same experience. It even simulated the UI from past Nokia phones to make it feel more authentic.

Reliving a classic

The concept behind the Snake game has been around since the mid-1970s through multiple incarnations, from arcade cabinets to home computers. What helped it achieve mainstream success and notoriety, though, was its inclusion in Nokia devices in the late 1990s. It’s been decades since, but people still have fond memories of that classic title. It’s no wonder that games like Classic Snake – Nokia 97 Old exist today.

This remake attempts to replicate the look and feel of the original with its monochrome background and 8-bit design. It doesn’t stop there, though, as you even get the same Nokia interface through simulators. You can choose among 5 different models along with the signature boot sequence and retro sound effects that provide you with a more immersive and realistic experience.

More still, it offers other classic titles that you can try out, including Space Impact, Car Race, and Wall Breaker—all fun and amazing games in their own right. There are even achievements and leaderboards for each one. It’s not all smooth sailing, though, as the app lags in some places. Also, the controls aren’t as precise or responsive via touch input, but that’s more a limitation of the games themselves.

The gift that keeps on giving

Classic Snake – Nokia 97 Old is far more than just a snake game for nostalgia’s sake despite its name. It should be treated more like a Nokia simulator where users relive some of the experience of using the company’s feature phones back in the day. If you’re a fan of the brand during its heyday, this one’s a no-brainer recommendation.
