Here is a link to the Sna{c}key v1.0 download page.

Without my own website, this was the only way that I could think of to have a semi-proper download page.

Not working here, I only get to download the dropbox html. Snakey, the ultimate snake game..mht

Apparently we need a plugin like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unmht/

Alternatively, try to zip it up and try uploading it to http://www.tempsend.com

You could specify how long the file stays up (for up to 1 month), etc and its free

edit:

This was an incredibly convoluted way to distribute the game.. I mean I understand wanting to have a web page for it and stuff, but you could have linked us to the dropbox file instead to make this easier (this link is windows only).

Those with firefox can download the addon I linked to above, and save the MHT file from dropbox. Then double-click the file to open it (opened in IE on my system for some reason..) to see the web page, with images and links, etc.

You didn't have a .mht reader on your system?
My bad.

It's not convoluted if your system handles .mht files, and that may be less common than I previously thought.
IE has handled .mht since version 5.
Thanks for pointing others to the excellent UnMht plugin for Firefox,
it's what I install whenever I install Firefox so my system can have IE functionality.

Frankly, I doubt many people have heard of MHT as its certainly new to me and I've never seen it used in such a fashion like this before.

.mht does not seem to be kept up to date by Microsoft anyway.

There are a miriad of free Website hosts you could use.
Gnozal uses ucoz

I am using the old Opera 12.15 and didn't try to open the mht, I just did it now and it opened OK, I normally always save pages for reference using this format so it ends up in one file, not perfect but pretty good in most cases.

That figures. It is a very nice way of archiving web pages. Something that I've been doing since the 1990s.
As I no longer use Internet Explorer on a regular basis, I hadn't noticed that the M$ tool is not keeping up to date with the latest web page technology.
Fortunately I use FireFox, and UnMHT is kept very much up to date.

I'll surely look into it.
But for now, without my own website, this is the only way that I could think of to have a download page which explains what I wanted to.

I've just merged SURROUND into Sna{c}key.
