Snake v0.95 Beta (PAL)

This game was created by Johan MacLeod

I thought a simple game would be a good
thing to start off with (this is my first
yaroze project). So I decided to create a
clone of the old classic "Snake".

        Instructions
Pick up the gems, and your snake gets longer!
The Score is decreasing all the time, to reward
the player for picking up gems as quickly as
possible.
Select options in the menu, with x.
In-game pause is available on each pad (press start)
but the same pad must be used to un-pause.
Use up and down in name entry to change letters,
Square/triangle will go back a letter, x moves on to the
next letter.

When auto-save in the options menu is on, the
game atomatically saves after a high score has
been gained

Change cd-track in the options menu using right/
left (once cd audio is activated by pressing x when
the cd option is selected).

The game loads a snake save game from the second
memory card slot when the game is run. The Score
tables are empty as default at the moment.

New to version 0.92 is a save feature, which allows
you to start the game on certain levels once you have
previously got to them. This is wiped when you reset
the playstation (there is no memory card save for this
at the moment).
The game will save every 5 levels.
To start on a level, press right/left on the pad when
"one player game" is selected.

New to 0.95 are the 3 player and 4 player multi-player 
modes. The idea is to get the most gems. The player who
survives the longest gets a 'survival bonus' which is
multiplied by the number of lives that that player had
when he died. The standard bonus is 2 gems per life
(ie you get 2*number of lives left as a bonus).

The coop (cooperative) mode gives the players one set of
lives and gems between themselves. The object is to get as many 
gems as possible, while cooperating!

In modes where there is a high score table, the next score
to try for is displayed on the top right of the screen, with
it's ranking in the table and the name of the player that 
gained it.


Any suggestions, bugs, or ideas, then
