Firing Snake for MS-DOS

I recently tried out a simple game built on assembler source code that I found quite fun. The game involves controlling a red snake using the arrow keys. It's pretty straightforward - press Up, Down, Left or Right to move the snake in the intended direction. If you want to speed up, just press and hold Alt.

To make things a bit more interesting, the game also includes a firing feature - simply press Ctrl to shoot. And, if you ever need to quit the game, hitting Esc will take you back to the main menu.

The ultimate objective of the game is to collect as many apples as you can while trying to avoid mines (shooting them up is an option if you're feeling daring) and white stones (moving around them is probably the safer bet). The more apples you eat, the longer your snake becomes - and the longer you get, the more points you earn.

In addition to the game itself, the pack includes the source code and a level editor. The level editor even includes its own Visual Basic source code, which is a neat bonus for those interested in modifying or creating their own versions of the game.
