2. Snake
This is another retro game that al the 90s kids will remember. Google really got our backs with this game as there are two versions.
The first version is this one which is the cutest thing ever. Made specially to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the snake in this game has to eat cute little dumplings, lanterns, ang pows and other Chinese New Year inspired items.
The second version is on Google Maps. This is another fun one as you get to choose from a few locations. Then when you enter the game, the snake is actually a train that travels around the map of your chosen location picking up people and passing through landmarks in the area. How fun is that?
