This is a classic snake game for your C64 home computer, but with a twist that makes it intentionally challenging (and no, this is not a joke). The game features a simple monochrome color scheme and the most basic graphics. Unlike the average snake game, this one is blazingly fast. Every point you score becomes a monumental struggle, and frustration will have you pulling your hair in no time. It's a game that ends before you even realize it began—a true test of endurance. Brace yourself for the most exasperating snake game you've ever encountered. To add insult to injury, the game includes a high-score table to meticulously track your woeful achievements.

But who needs another run-of-the-mill snake game for the C64? :)

The game supports 1 player, 2-player co-op, 2-player versus, 3-player co-op and 3-player versus game modes.

The game is only tested on PAL hardware, both real and emulated(VICE).

Truly the fastest snake game I've ever played. Thiny but beautiful.

This is a fun and extremely challenging take on Snake. I can confirm that it works just fine on NTSC hardware.  Tested on a C64c using 1541 Ultimate II+.  It is super fast though and just as frustrating as the description would have you believe.  After 10 minutes of playing my high score is still only 20 and I only get points on about 25% of games.  They should use this game for response time training!  All in all it is definitely worth a play!
