[edit] Opening
The opening of this article should be rephrased. It makes it sound like the game came into existance around the 90's. It's been longer than that

- Ok, I rephrased it to be less misleading, but do you know when it was originally made? - Ultravisitor 02:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Category?
Since there are several snake games (I think the ZX Spectrum alone had over two dozen), I hereby propose [[Category:Snake_games]]. Anyone?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Snake8210.jpg
Image:Snake8210.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Anyways, the first 'worm' game for a microcomputer was 'Worm' (TRS-80 version), written by Peter Trefonas and published by CLOAD magazine in 1978. Trefonas also wrote similar versions of this program for a PET and an APPLE2 shortly afterwards. Here is a site with the code of Trefonas' program: http://brainless.hkc.free.fr/missing/Tandy%20Radio%20Shack%20TRS-80%20-%20Model%20Ihave.txt
In conclusion, the SNAKE8210 jpg should be removed as it signifies nothing of importance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silylene (talk • contribs) 20:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- I added a rationale. However, this rationale is conditioned on whether depiction of the TRS-80 is required. I'm not so sure about that. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 19:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
