THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE 1976 SAW THREE SNAKE GAMES SLITHER INTO THE ARCADES

Blockade

Gremlin was first to market and had great success with its coin-op, which pitted two ever-growing luminous green snakes in a duel to the death.

Barricade

Ramtek had a reputation for swift knockoffs ever since its multiple clones of Pong at the start of the decade. This version does allow up to four players, though.

Bigfoot Bonkers

This brilliantly titled version from Meadows Games adds giant footprints as obstacles on the playfield and has sasquatch tracks all over the cabinet, too.
