It wasn't the first by about two decades, but to most, the one true version of Snake was found on late-90s Nokia cellphones. One Amsterdam-based developer decided to try and recreate that magic — the result of which is Snake '97 for Windows Phone 7.5. The "homage" includes not only the tiny, monochrome dot-matrix display but also the surrounding 5000-series faceplate so you can use the 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys to grow your virtually harmless reptile one nondescript food item at a time.

Update: It also came out earlier this month to Android devices (free but ad supported), and late last year for iPhone and iPad (free trial and paid) — neither of which will, unfortunately, let you enjoy the irony of playing on modern Nokia devices.
