Thanks for reporting.

While testing I found that this issue is still present in emacs23, even
the version available in 14.04. However, the score file is created and
behaves as expected in emacs24 24.5+1-6ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04. I
skimmed through the changelog, but didn't find any explicit reference to
what fixed it, so I am unsure what or if a patch could be made and
applied to older releases.

** Also affects: emacs24 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: emacs24 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Changed in: emacs23 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  When finished playing the snake game that is included in Emacs23, it tries to 
update a non-existing scores file. The error message is:
  Failed to access scores file: No such file or directory.
  
  The problem can be fixed by adding these lines to .emacs:
  (setq snake-score-file
-     "~/.emacs.d/snake-scores")
+     "~/.emacs.d/snake-scores")
