Gutter Snake

This is the arcade version of Snake, which is a very different game from the phone one. There is no empty box and no single rat: there is a maze, it is full of dots, and you clear it by eating all of them.

You never stop moving, the corridors are tight, and the snake grows with every dot, so a maze that was comfortable at the start is a trap by the end of it. Six mazes, then round again faster. A bonus appears on a timer and is worth more the sooner you reach it.

Nibbler is the game a man played for 44 hours straight in 1984 to reach a billion points, which is only possible because the mazes loop and speed up. They do here too.
