We tried to get the sport operating on Android, however it doesn’t appear to be available on that model of the app. The possibility simply isn’t there.

This feels identical to taking part in on an old Nokia, full with a digital quantity pad. Lovely stuff.
The first model of Snake on Nokia telephones is discovered within the Nokia 6110, introduced in 1997. However, we think about a lot of the old-school UK Snakeheads on the market understand it greatest from both the Nokia 3210 or Nokia 3310.

A remake of the Nokia 3310 is available from Nokia for £59.99, full with a colour-screen model of Snake.
