Achtung, die Kurve!
1995 video game
Achtung, die Kurve!, also known as Curve Fever or simply Achtung, is a freeware, multiplayer snake game. Played by two to eight players simultaneously, players leave a trail and try to make the opponent hit a wall or trail first. The game is controlled by only two buttons to turn left or right, and players can turn and travel in any direction, not limited to the four cardinal directions. The game has several popular remakes.
Background
The game is a clone of another Czech game Červi (Worms) from 1993, differing in that the lines now have holes. Author is Filip Oščádal, aka Fred Brooker, from the Czech Republic who made this game, together with Kamil Doležal, for Commodore Amiga including music, sound effects and graphical background (worm speed depending on the picture). The game was written in Motorola 68000 assembly. The title is in German.
Gameplay
Each player spawns as a dot in a random location on the playing field and moves at a constant speed. Each player can turn left or right, but the turning speed is limited, making sharp turns impossible.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1995 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q341091. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
