In the "game" you would do grammar drills after completing enough of them you could play an arcade game. One of those games was snakes.

You haven't specified the platform so I'm assuming it's DOS (this is a DOS games forum after all), so here's a list of DOS educational games:

Macintosh educational spelling (reading/writing) games (247):

There is also a separate section for 'typing' (28), but that is more for learning to use the keyboard faster, I think:

Mac or Win 90s computer program teaches grammar

Post by sobek16 »

In school when I was young I played a software that taught you grammar. The software ran on mac computers (maybe windows). I played it on an IMAC. The software was probably made in the mid 90's. It worked on things such as capitalization punctuation parts of speech etc. The software was pretty basic did not have characters, animations, or anything like that. When you did enough work in the software it would let you play a game for a limited amount of time. One of those games was snakes where you had to make your snake eat the apple, the snake got bigger, but not run over itself.

From what you describe, the game part was a secondary component, so you can try looking in this list (games that came with some other software):

There's also a list of Snake/Nibbles variants:

Also we have rules against making multiple topics about the same game. I merged the two threads for now, but please kindly bump the topic next time instead of creating a new one.

Thank you. I checked the list. None of them were it however. Snake was just a bonus mini game.
