Nibbler

Developed by Rock-Ola in 1983 and released in Japan by Taito, Nibbler is a classic action game in which players control a snake that grows continuously as it consumes items on the screen. The game’s challenging rules—where touching a wall or the snake's own body results in a loss—combined with a simple yet profound design that encourages high-score competition, captivated players at the time. As a quintessential example of how the then-popular "snake game" format was evolved for the arcade, this title has left an indelible mark on the history of video games.
