Snafu

Snafu, developed by Mattel Electronics for the Intellivision home gaming console, is a fast-paced arcade action game that puts your reflexes and strategy to the test. Similar to Atari’s Surround, Snafu challenges you to outmaneuver your opponents as you control a constantly moving wall or "serpent." Your objective is to trap your opponents in tight spaces while avoiding collisions with the screen’s borders, your opponents' walls, and your own growing tail. The last player standing wins the round!

With up to 16 different gameplay modes, Snafu offers a variety of options to keep the action fresh. You can choose to allow or forbid diagonal movement, introduce obstacles into the playfield, and decide whether walls disappear after crashing or remain on the screen to intensify the challenge. Players can also adjust the speed of movement and select how many rounds to play. The game supports up to four players, with one or two human players and optional computer-controlled opponents for additional chaos!

In Snafu, strategy and quick reflexes are crucial as you try to corner your rivals and claim as much territory as possible. A unique game mode allows you to "bite off" parts of your opponent’s tail, causing them to lose points until you win by reducing them to zero. Every round is a battle of skill, and the faster you move, the greater your chances of trapping your competitors.

Whether you're playing solo, going head-to-head with a friend, or adding computer players into the mix, Snafu offers endless replay value with its numerous gameplay variations and customizable settings. The game’s retro sound effects and action-packed music create an engaging atmosphere, making it a must-play for fans of vintage arcade-style gaming.

Key features include:

16 different gameplay varieties: Choose from multiple modes that change the rules and strategies of each match.

Speed options and round selection: Adjust game speed and select how many rounds to play for tailored experiences.

Diagonal movement and obstacles: Enhance the challenge by allowing diagonal movement or adding obstacles to the playfield.

Play solo or with up to four players: Enjoy solo challenges against the computer, play one-on-one with a friend, or add two additional computer opponents for up to four-player action.

Action-packed sound effects and music: Immerse yourself in the excitement with dynamic sound effects and music that keep the adrenaline pumping.

Put your skills to the test in Snafu on the Intellivision, and see if you have what it takes to dominate the arcade battlefield and trap your opponents in this classic retro game!
