Snakslad (Tandy TRS-80 MC10) by Jim Gerrie
A downloadable game
SNAKSLAD
A simple simulation of the classic game of Snakes and Ladders. Choose your piece (+ or *) and then hit a key to role a dice for each. The winner is the player who makes it to the last (red) square first. If you land on the head of a snake, you slide down to the bottom of its tail. If you land at the bottom of a ladder, you ascend to the top of it.

How to play
BOMBAIM and SNAKSLAD can be played from my faculty website using Mike Tinnes Javascript MC-10 Emulator:
http://faculty.cbu.ca/jgerrie/MC10/MC-10Programmers.html
Just select either filename (BOMBAIM OR SNAKSLAD) from the Cassette Menu, and type RUN and hit Enter in the Main emulator screen.
Alternatively, the VMC10 emulator can be downloaded from this location:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/11pXdOi8f4RvfvnD3NlCwaD3EMV-K7DGV/view?usp=sharing
After unzipping the VMC10_073.zip launch VMC10.exe and select one of the included .c10 cassette files from the Files menu. Type CLOADM and hit Enter in the main emulator screen. Then type RUN.
The two .c10 game files are also in the JimG directory in the Cassette directory of the emulator distro.

Greetings Jim Gerrie,
we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game "Snaksland” in our very first issue.
Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Areeba Malik (Titania)
A very nice, playable game, with curiously appealing aesthetics. The (sometimes) pedestrian, flat graphics traditionally observed on the MC10 seem, in this case, more fresh and modern, especially on an LCD display.
Very nice! Growing up as a child, I had a board game like this, called “Chutes and Ladders.” It brings back those memories :)
What are the controls for this game?
There aren't controls. It's a board game.
very good
