I said effectively.

> TRON's trail is static, Snakes body is dynamic.

And that difference only exists to support the single player vs multiplayer dynamic. If Snake left a Tron tail then it would be a very short, unfun experience. If Tron didn't leave a permanent trail then matches would last too long.

In the middle ground, NIBBLES.BAS was snake and had a competitive 2 player mode plus a selection of levels/arenas.
