Sad news. I either don't have a C64 old enough to use the CP/M cartridge or the cartridge itself is bad. I tried it on 5 different breadbins, a C64C and even a C64U. On one of the breadbins I had some action from the cartridge after loading the disk but never got to the CP/M screen. I think I sold my oldest C64 a couple years ago. Maybe I will see if it will run on one of my Commodore 128 machines instead. Alternately I'll figure out how to load it on my Osborne 1. That would be cool.

This is a fun and extremely challenging take on Snake. I can confirm that it works just fine on NTSC hardware. Tested on a C64c using 1541 Ultimate II+. It is super fast though and just as frustrating as the description would have you believe. After 10 minutes of playing my high score is still only 20 and I only get points on about 25% of games. They should use this game for response time training! All in all it is definitely worth a play!
I bought this without hesitation seven minutes after the e-mail hit my inbox this morning. It was a few hours before I had a chance to play it but it was worth the wait. I have been looking forward to this game for a while, and was only concerned that it would be too much like the original. I didn't need to worry. There are plenty of new enemies and twists that make it worth buying and playing. It is definitely a sequal to the first game but the new challenges make it fun. I have gotten through the first 3 levels on easy and look forward to seeing what else the game has to offer!
This game is awesome! I tested it on original hardware using a harmony cart and it works great. The only issue I have noticed is that if you end with a highscore in the 10,000s it it chops off the 1 on the highscore in the subsequent games. (ie if you get a 15,520 your high score will show up as 5,520). I have been playing this a lot over the last 2 days and there are some combos of moves that I know are possible but that I almost always fail on. I'll get them!
