Any good "Snake" clones for 2600?

[Andromeda Stardust]

Basically, Snake (or nibbles) was an popular PC game back in the 80s where you control a Snake and attempt to eat 10 digits or fruit. As you eat, your snake gets longer, and if you crash into a yourself, a wall, other player, you die. I used to play the Qbasic version a lot back in the day, and me and one of my lab partners had fun competing

 

I have TapeWorm, but the graphics are lame, and in the later levels, your snake becomes invisible, which makes hitting the targets excruciatingly frustrating. Surround doesn't really seem to have a decent 1-player mode, nor do you have targets or obstacles to navigate. Are there any other decent games I can try?

That looks neat. I gave it a download and will load it on my Harmony.

I enjoyed TapeWorm too, but when I got into the later stages, my worm turned invisible after several seconds and I couldn't eat the numbers. Suddenly a really fun game becomes excruciatingly frustrating when i can't see where I'm going. The graphics probably aren't as bad as I remembered them a few months ago. I just remember playing it shortly after I got my Atari in May 2012. No offense to anyone, but Atari graphics are kind of an aquired taste compaired to NES and I was still adjusting to them. I'm more used to the effects now, but they could have picked better colors.

Yeah, I just placed that game on my wishlist earlier tonight. The missiles definitely look awesome and adds a much needed strategic element to the game! I played Surround earlier tonight. I realized I had picked up the game but not really played it much because I didn't have my buddy around. I plugged the controller into the Right side, and all of a sudden, I could control the thing. It's not much fun playing by myself due to the AI. I can pretty much keep out of the way of the CPU and expect that the CPU will kill itself after a short period of time.

 

But what I really enjoyed about the original Qbasic Nibbles, and the classic PC snake games, was the exploring aspect of collecting the randomly distributed apples, numbers, whatever and watching the snake grow. Then in two player mode, you have the option of working together or competing. Sure you could try to annihilate your opponent, but the primary objective was to collect numerals. Just like in games like Mario Brothers, Joust, and Balloon Fight, with 2-player Snake / Nibbles, you have the option of working together or competing just based on play style.

Tapeworm, is that mentioned already? Anyway, Vanguard may or may not be, I forgot.
