Santulli Slant: This game was packaged with the trackball, but would have sold just fine even without it. It’s a Centipede recycle using snakes instead of the familiar character. The desert replaces the mushroom field (cactus replaces the mushrooms). Coleco didn’t bother with rehashing the classics, relying instead on "sleeper" arcade games to be a hit on the home front. Here they got both - Slither was actually an arcade game! [Gr: 8, So: 7, Ga: 8, Ov: 7]

Periodical's review: Electronic Fun With Computers & Games magazine rated this game a 4 (out of 4). Listed as one of the "99 Favorite Classics" by Digital Press in 1997.
