Sneekie

The story follows Sneekie from its 1988 summer of BASIC programming, through magazine publication, OCR recovery, and the 2026 browser port.

See the original MS(X)DOS Computer Magazine pages, including the printed listing that preserved Sneekie for nearly four decades.

Launch the faithful browser port and guide Sneekie through all 32 maze levels from the original 1988 game.

The recovered GW-BASIC listing is shown as clean, syntax-highlighted source while keeping the original line-numbered structure intact.

Watch a modern planner drive the real game in-page and clear the deep levels by pressing the same keys a player would press.

The manual covers controls, scoring, hazards, enemies, and the maze gallery so the 1988 rules are easy to learn again.

Follow the BASIC listing section by section, with annotations that explain what each line range does inside the game.

Compare the original GW-BASIC and the JavaScript port side by side to see how the same ideas moved into the browser.

The visualizer turns the direct video-memory model into an interactive sandbox where every peek and poke can be followed.
