 Danger Uxb is positioned as one of the classics in the world of video games, matching titles like Snake. In fact, Snake was one of the most popular games on computers at the time. Danger Uxb consists of directing a snake to hunt for food. We will have to avoid touching the walls, hitting a stone or touching ourselves, since we will lose a life. The graphics are somewhat more colorful than Snake.
+It's November 6, the day after Bonfire Night, and Cecil the Seer Centipede is up and looking for breakfast.
+Unfortunately, the garden is full of unexploded bombs that will explode at the slightest touch, so he must be very careful in his search for food.
+Like all good centipedes, Cecil grows every time he eats until he reaches normal size. This gives him the added danger of running into himself because ever since the gardener sprayed weed killer all over the place, Cecil's body has been highly toxic. If he accidentally bites himself, which is very possible since he can't find his glasses, death will immediately follow.
+Lucky for him, you're very fond of mother nature's creatures and have offered your services to help guide him, and when he finishes one garden, he'll move on to another with more sausages to avoid and more food to eat. There are 15 gardens to complete and if you manage them all you will return to the first one.
+As soon as you press a key, Cecil will start moving and won't stop until he has enough food or he dies. Your job is to have enough food or die. Your job is to keep him alive by guiding him, but you'll need to be quick with your fingers and have a keen eye to spot the oncoming danger.
 A really entertaining game, with good graphics, but lack of sound as usual on PCW machines.
