Barricade is an overhead view maze arcade game released by RamTeK in 1976. Players move their blocks across the screen to create walls to try and surround their opponents and force them to crash into the walls or any block. This type of game appeared in many variants on many computers and consoles over the years, and was popular on mobile phones like Nokia many years later as one of the default games called "Snake".
