Blockade
1976 · Arcade · Gremlin Industries
Blockade is an arcade video game developed by Lane Hauck and Ago Kiss for Gremlin and released in November 1976. It is a two-player game where each player controls the direction of an arrow on the screen which creates a trail behind it. The object is to avoid any walls surrounding the playfield or trails created by each player for a select amount of turns. Blockade spawned many clones which came to be known as snake games.

Where to buy
Blockade was a coin-op original — it never had a shelf release, so there is no boxed copy to buy. What you can buy is the hardware itself, or a later home conversion.
Nothing genuine listed right now — no arcade board or cabinet, and no home conversion we could confirm is this game. We would rather show you nothing than the wrong machine.
