Surround, released for the Atari 2600, is an early classic in the video game world. It falls into the puzzle and strategy genre, often compared to the 'Snake' game type. In Surround, players control straight line segments that continuously move across the screen. The objective is to maneuver your line in such a way as to encircle the opposing player, causing them to crash into your line or a wall. The game features both a competitive two-player mode and single-player variations where the goal is to survive for as long as possible. Surround's simple yet addictive gameplay laid the groundwork for future snake-like games.
