About Blockade

Blockade is the original two-player snake duel from 1976 — the game that later inspired Tron's light cycles. Two snakes share one arena; leave your trail like a wall and force your rival to crash first.

How to play Blockade

Grab a friend on the same keyboard: one player steers with WASD, the other with the arrow keys. Your snake never stops and its whole trail stays solid — box your opponent in before they box you.
