Shark Jaws

I recently published this write-up about Shark Jaws, Atari's attempt to cash-in on success of JAWS. Enjoy!

The best part is the link to the t-shirt. I'm in for one!

 

Pinball PA has a Shark Jaws that I got to play. Fun game for its time.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the game also shown in the film Piranha with the female lead seen playing it?

You are correct. I state as much toward the bottom of the article.

That is a beautiful arcade cabinet. Simple, but classy. It's like a Shaker arcade cabinet!

Thanks, they're being done in batches. Orders for the first batch of shirts is closing this Wed midnight, so if you want a shirt soonish get your order in now.

Sent out the first batch of Horror Games (Atari) Shark Jaws shirts, and they came out great.

Orders will close Sunday 12/6 midnight, so if you want to ensure you get one order now. Makes a great gift for Xmas. In the one pic, you can see the Gildan on the left and the Next Level tri-blend on the right. Orders have been lite for this one, so it will definitely not come back in print. Just wanted to get the word out cause they're pretty badass if you're a hardcore Atari fan.

In Jan, yes. Probably a Rockola shirt, not entirely sure. Unfortunately, the Shark Jaws T was a bit of a dud. The Nichi shirt sold well, I'd like to do something that sells at least in between the two.

Probably cuz there are only a few like myself that appreciate the b/w era of arcade gaming.

Yeah, me too! Luckily, there are more and more folks who appreciate the era. Still, you'd think some Atari diehards would be all over this.

Unfortunately Atari arcade has taken a back seat to Atari consoles on this site. Only a fraction of us here are diehard arcade gamers. That's what KLOV is for.
