About this game
Ibid is a DOS take on Snake, released in 1994 by the developer now known as Meatfighter. A worm moves continuously across the board. Steer it around walls and its own tail to collect diamonds. Once you collect enough, look for the exit. Later levels introduce paired portals, one-way passages and barriers that open and close.
Choose New Game, then press any key at the title screen. Press P in the DOS menu and a key at the level screen to begin. Turn with the arrow keys. Press S in the DOS menu to change speed, or C to enter a level code. On a phone, the buttons beside or below the board let you start, turn and enter a code without a keyboard.
This edition uses the original author’s browser restoration and recovered level data. The archive added mobile controls and replaced the bitmap typeface. The game’s DOS menus remain in English. Choose Continue after reopening the game to restore your progress in the same browser. You can also write down level codes and use them separately.

Quick tips
The worm moves on its own. Turn before a wall or your own tail, and leave enough room for the next corner.

Note the code shown before each level. Use C or the on-screen Level code button to jump back to that level.
