Does anyone have Lochjaw and why is it so rare?

Recommended Posts

Just curious as to how many people have Lochjaw and why is it so rare? Is it worth the money I've seen it estimated for? :?

The reason Lochjaw is rare is because of a copyright ingringement lawsuit that took place almost immediately when it was initially released. The game sounded too much like the movie Jaws. Because of this Lochjaw was in super limited quantities. I guess you could call this the Beatles Butcher album of Atari video games. Apollo would later release this game slightley altered as Shark Attack. Shark Attack was a pretty good seller, but the original version was Lochjaw.
