This game deserved great success. Too bad it came so late.

Notes: 1- or 2-player; too bad you have to lose all your fish to hear the song!
Screen Shots |
Shark! Shark! is another one of those refreshingly original
games Mattel produced towards the dismal end of the Golden Age of the console.
The soundtrack is excellent - I just wish that you didn't have to end the game
to hear the main theme! The 9-year-old daughter of a close friend of mine - who
holds her own on N64 and other newer consoles - loves this game! That's how fun
it is - a jaded child from today's world of gaming can even enjoy this one!

Although the playfield can seem somewhat cramped, this game is tons of fun. And the music! |
