When I click on the Play now button, nothing happens. If I scroll down to the play field, I can start it, but the arrow keys first scroll the page. If I focus the play area explicitly, I can control the snake, but it is very unresponsive.

Whatever. I really marveled at the amount of text you put on this page explaining and marketing the game - it looks like a copy-writer really earned his/her money.

One question though: how many times was "Is Snake Game a Retro Game?" question asked, before it became part of the Frequently Asked Questions? :)

I'm able to play normally on the site. I think Snake is a classic game because it was an arcade game that came out in 1976
