Crawlers - A revamped version of the classic Snake game for up to 8 players for the MSX

After all these MSX and MSX 2 games we've been mentioning, you'd think we'd be having a break but not so! As we've recently found out by trawling the latest msxdev competition page, that Pixel Phenix has released the arcade party game of 'Crawlers': A game in which the website describes as a revamped version of the classic Snake game, allowing 8 party members to join-in. To coincide with this news, Saberman has done a short play through of this crazy yet enjoyable game for the MSX.

Here's the latest from the MSXDev'23 competition. "With no less than 5 available game modes, every one gets a chance to shine and become a Master Crawler, for guts and glory. Who doesn’t remember the classic Snake game? It has been featured on countless computers and phones, having a gazillion users watching the snake grow as it eats crops. This is an extension on that concept, with multiple playing modes for a maximum party of 8 contestants. The author claims to be the first MSX game to allow 8 players competing at the same time on the same machine, using the Ninja Tap device. From training mode, to full death match battle mode, this new entry will have you occupied for the next couple of hours, for sure".
