Features & Capabilities

Snake '97: Retro Phone Classic is a faithful remake of the original Snake game from 1997. It features iconic dot-matrix display and monotone sounds for an authentic nostalgic experience. Players can enjoy both Snake 1 and Snake 2 modes with old school controls and seven classic game variants inspired by Nokia phones like the 5110, 3210, 3310, and others.

This Chrome extension offers 9 original plus 3 extra difficulty levels, bonus creatures, and unique gameplay elements such as going through walls and multiple labyrinths in Snake 2. The high score cannot be reset, staying true to the original game's addictive and frustrating challenge. Developed in Amsterdam, Snake '97 invites you to revisit classic mobile gaming while losing some productive hours to endless fun and nostalgia.

User Reviews

Reviews largely praise the game for its nostalgic, faithful replication of the classic Nokia Snake experience and enjoyable retro gameplay. However, recurring issues hurt the experience: intrusive ads, a buggy update that renders the game unplayable for some, and overlay/UI problems that can’t be disabled on certain devices, plus touch-triggered settings bugs. Despite these flaws, the retro charm keeps attracting players seeking a nostalgic throwback.
Pros
  • Nostalgia and retro Nokia Snake feel that recreates the classic experience across multiple reviews.
  • Faithful recreation of the original gameplay, capturing its charm and simplicity.
  • Overall fun and engaging retro experience that appeals to longtime fans.
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and a heavy ad experience that interrupts gameplay (e.g., after each death).
  • A problematic update (noted around 25/02/26) that made the game nearly unplayable for some users.
  • On-screen overlay controls (D-pad overlay) that cannot be easily removed on some devices, cluttering the screen.
  • Bug where settings open unexpectedly when touching the screen, hindering play.

I like this game because it is nostalgic. I played the original back in 2005.
