Atomic Worm – A slithery classic reborn…

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I’m talking about Snake, the classic game where move your snake around the board and eat and eat and eat until your tail grows so long that you eventually run into yourself.  According to your friend, and mine, Wikipedia, Snake originated in the 70’s with Blockade by a company named Gremlin Industries (not to be confused with Gremlin Graphics that eventually became Gremlin Interactive).  Snake has had a long career and today’s game adds to that distinguished career.  Atomic Worm by Charlie Dog Games is more than just your average snake clone.  Although the developer might rap me in the mouth for this, I believe it’s a combination of snake and a match-3 game.  That’s right, a match-3.  I didn’t intentionally start out to review another one of these games, but it appears i have.  Of course it’s not a traditional click 3 items, or falling block match-3, it’s a snake variant.  It’s also another freeware title.  I guess I just seem to be getting a lot of freeware stuff.  AtomicWormSS00
