Summary

According to Nokia engineer Taneli Armanto, Nokia was developing a new operating system when it built its business-focused 6110 handset and was therefore looking for new feature ideas. Armanto’s brother was coding a simple version of Snake on his PC at the time and Nokia liked the idea of a mobile phone version. Consequently, the 6110 shipped with Snake as well as two other games: Logic and Memory. Although the first ever mobile game was a version of Tetris on the 1994 Hagenuk MT-2000 handset, it was Snake that took off, slithering on to over 350m handsets.
