FortunaChan Sí.

Even when Atari was making more advanced systems in the 80s, they still kept the 2600 going because nothing could compete with its library.. and price.

What the hell happened at the end? It was getting so suspenseful and I could hardly wait to see what would happen next... and then bam.. it locked up?

[@ruatonim]

Game over.

[@RichCale]

I had this game. You didn't include Nessie.

[@Rarestgameplayer]

Merely it is a clone of Pacman.

[@Lightblue2222]

It feels alot different though. Sometimes its tricky to pick up the dots, and that shark goes through the walls in a straight line unlike the pac ghosts, and theres no way to kill the shark. Otherwise ya I see your point.

[@Lightblue2222]

Oh and also you have to hold the dots and bring them to the center. Forgot about that. Been many years..

I've never owned an Atari 2600, but I can guess the game's premise; you're a pearl diver navigating a coral reef and trying to avoid getting mauled by a shark who's accompanied by the theme from Jaws (kinda).

[@inputfunny]

Jeez. No wonder the gaming industry crashed back then.

44 seconds. That's how long I lasted before having to stop the video hehe. I had completely forgotten how that shark sound grated on my nerves. I got this when it was new. Needless to say I was VERY disappointed in it. I was coo-coo for sharks when I was a kid. But the shark didn't look, move or remind me of a shark in any way, except that it was gray. And it was just a Pac-Man ripoff. Ohhh, how far we've come!

[@Dorelaxen]

Payk Mayne but with Jaws.

[@rachelgaston8954]

As much as I hate to say this, this game honestly looks better than Pac-man for the Atari 2600. But then again, what game doesn't?

[@berzerk2600]

Yeah not the best, but iconic for Atari. Kinda glad now we have different variations of our favorite arcades.

[@WillScarlet1991]

Not exactly difficult is it?

[@alexmercer6030]
