You haven’t complained about thumb and finger pain playing this one LOL ? I have an original 2609 wood grain Intellivision that is modified to play games in full HD. I don’t typically have issues with the controller, I’m very used to them after all these years. It doesn’t hurt to play Shark Shark at all, that’s an easy one on the hands as far as I’m concerned. The ones that do hurt a bit are the shooters that demand the side buttons be pressed all the time, like Space Armada and Worm Whomper coming up next week. I usually have a sore thumb for awhile after playing those. Edited August 13, 2020 by IntyFanMatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think you may be. The keypad buttons shouldn’t be hard on your hands. Plus you might damage the membrane under the keypad, and I’m sure you don’t want that. ?

I can kill quite a few. It’s a timing and counting thing (Number of turns the Shark takes) that is hard to execute, but is definitely doable.

Developers did a great job on it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really went for it... don't know about improvement... I may give it one more go over the weekend. What I did different, was while trying to nibble shark tail, I went UP/DOWN, a hair earlier in my timing,... almost feels too soon, but because the speed is so great after 100ks, I swim low, then vertical,... then when the shark dances left right, I zoom up or down and tail touch on my way, its slow and tedious, not fool proof, but it still can work often! As long as he's dancing... left and right, The fish around me over 100ks are equally dangerous because they stop your fish from avoiding Jawsy. The worst I think though, is that Crab that pops way high, really cannot navigate well with him jumping most the screen. Building ability, experience and skill helps too. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start high after 100k then dart low, and then back and forth from there. And yeah fish and crusties always seem to get in the way. So it's very similar! Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
