Abandonware – Nibbles.bas (PC)
Though very old, most people knows Nibbles.bas
Only with other names… like snakes or Tron? XD
Ancient stuff here people. Nibbles.bas came together with Dos 5.0 along with a programming language called QBasic.
QBasic is among the first programming languages I tried to play with when I was a kid, together with DBase 3 Plus, Clipper and LOGO graphics.
It is “.bas” because it’s actually a code file. You had to compile it first before playing.
And as you can see on the video, some versions of it came with a little bug as gift.

how can i downlaod it so i can play it???
Might be a little tricky camelia… since it's not only an ancient game, but also one that needs a compiler to run.
But I'm guessing it's not too far from a Google Search.
Try searching for "nibbles.bas", you'll probably find some blogs that will instruct you how to do it.
Probably involves installing some virtualization software which will have the compiler built in, and download the nibbles.bas code.
Sorry I can't help further… I'm running my PC on a far too complex scheme which I don't want to risk messing with the configuration.
