Intelligentleman Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Love this game! Here’s my first entry 64,000 on original hardware. Edited August 3, 2020 by Intelligentleman 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The Shark is a bit of a push-over and I feel bad for him. I actually consider my little fish as more of a Shark than the actual shark. Up until about 40-50 k points. Then Mr Shark gets tired of my antics and his behaviors really start to get interesting. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is alot of fun, hard, but fun.... ? I played this morning and I had a pretty big fish going, then some killer crustacean from the bottom leapt up and snagged my ass. What is that thing, a crab, a lobster, a gargoyle, lol....? ? Edited August 3, 2020 by Rickster8 Added a little more text. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both crabs and lobsters, and you can get a free life if you grab them on the way down!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, on the other hand, was annoyed I couldn't get even 1 fish on my last 5 lives, to *not* have that exact score. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTELLIVISION SPARTAN Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I love the shark on the game. He’s so perfectly drawn and the sounds from Jaws... so menacing! They really got it perfect! Great scores so far guys !!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m coming for you guys... fun fact, I was so terrified of the shark as a kid in the late 80s that I didn’t even realize you could bite his tail until last October! 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never biting the shark's tail would make for an entirely different play experience! I'll have to give that a try sometime. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Yeah occasionally, after a narrow escape, my fish would accidentally clip the shark and I’d hear the “blip” sound as if I just ate something, but I could never figure out how it was happening. How about those weird times when you bite the sharks tail and it instantly spins around, but then you somehow manage to bite its face? Any of you ever encounter that? i don’t think you’re actually biting the head... more like a double bite on the tail that coincides with a reversal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
