NIBE





Wiggly Slimy snakes!

NIBE is a Nibbler/Snake game by Marc Bourlon that features an ever-greedy snake chomping its way through lots of apples. This gluttony makes him grow longer with each bite, so it becomes harder to protect him from bumping into walls or even his own tail. You get the idea, so it's our job to help him eat his way through the screens - and many are cruel in their design. You can even change the game's speed (if you dare!!)

The graphics are humble and suit the 
theme perfectly. I love the title screen, which is a great intro. As there are no sound effects, Mad Max music plays throughout - never a bad thing!! Overall, Nibe is pretty straightforward yet challenging thanks to a sinister design. Stick with it because the basic mechanics are spot-on and Nibe will certainly test your reactions, patience, and concentration, so prepare thyself to be tormented!!

Here are a couple of links for downloads, screenshots, and another game you might enjoy...


Floppy disk downloads appear to be quite rare.
And if you enjoyed Nibe, then try N.o.B.I. - Racing!!



This is a level that looks so easy, but it's completely the opposite!



Oh yeah, I definitely think this is going to be easy. Ask me if I ever completed it...
