- High score saved on disk,
- New title screen graphics,
- New title "music",
- High score updated automatically during game.

- If the loaded high score is beaten the program will try to save

- from being saved e.g. the disk is write protected, a request will be

- is saved in the file "SNAKE.HSC" and can be reset be deleting this
- file.

- INTRODUCTION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- SNAKE! is based on the on the old centipede type game, where you
- move around the screen collecting mushrooms and avoiding your tail,
- which grows longer with every mushroom you eat. Snake applies a twist
- to this idea: instead of collecting mushrooms you collect bombs,
- bombs which, if left for too long will explode leaving a hole you can
- fall down.
- Control Eric the snake in his quest to collect 100 bombs! good
- luck and watch out for that ever growing tail!
-
-
- LOADING SNAKE!

- Simply double-click on the SNAKE! icon and the program will load
- and run.
-
-
- CONTROLS
- ~~~~~~~~
- Snake is controlled with a joystick in port 2, press fire to
- start. In the game, any key pauses and un-pauses, and on the title
- screen SHIFT and Q together quits back to WorkBench/CLI.
