This just looks awful. How does the NES go from Super Mario Bros. to this pile of garbage. Games certainly didn't do a whole lot of progressing back in my day. This game in particular really went backwards on the videogame evolutionary scale.
The funny thing is that although this game is mediocre and repetitive, by LJN standards its amazing, like they only made a bad game this time not a totally shitty one
Do you remember the scene from the "Jaws" movies when they use an airplane to drop bowling balls on jellyfish under the water????? I SURE DON'T!!!!!!!!! Didn't LJN ever see ANY of the "Jaws" movies?????? No wonder they went out of business!!!!!!
An arcade game came out after the movie. To skirt copyright laws, the game was called "SHARK JAWS", where the word Shark was in .5" letters, above Jaws, being 6" letters. The studio couldn't do a thing. People would just see "JAWS", and barely notice the tiny blur of "SHARK" above it.
The commentary on this excerpt is so hillarious. Jaws wasn't that bad for 1987. It could have been made more creatively. They could have made a second edition that was more itnteractive. Still, there is a lot to say about this game, the review is about 7 minutes long!
Hmm, better than I thought it would be... I hate anything related to jaws usually and just watched this to see how stupid it would be - but I'm impressed by it
Thats cool man, if you like the game. Atleast you have your own opinion and dont just hate the game cause most people do. I truly didnt care for it, but I'v played worse.
I actually have a pop filter, but someone was borrowing it for a little while so I ended up having to settle for the hard P's on some of these reviews.
Couple of things though. His health doesn't refill completely after an encounter - just 4 bars, you also lose the receiver if you die, and if it's supposed to be like Jaws: Revenge, they were electromagnetic pulse strobes, not strobe lights (not as though either would make a shark jump out of water anyway).
Didn't know the sub came from 30,000 points though. Thought that was random. Thanks.
You should be able to use as much as you want, considering your not making any money off of it. In that case, theirs no law for it. Fare use and whatnot.
I actually don't think this game is that bad. It would have worked better as an arcade game, however. It is certainly the best LJN game that I can think of, not that its saying much.
I remember staying at the very top part of the screen when Jaws was around because for whatever reason he can't hit you when you're on the surface of the water. Amazing time waster though, played it as a kid.
Wow, I have to say, you really DO sound like you couldn't stand this game. Like "Ah man, I gotta REVIEW this?..." And I feel bad for you, because this just seems awful. Ugh. If LJN committed worse atrocities than this, I don't even wanna hear the names...aiya.
Anyway, awesome review as always, man. First time I ever honestly was feeling symapthy being generated for you in my mind as the video progressed. Aiya. Such a bad looking game...
Another awesome review. The icing on the cake could've been the line "Why don't you come down here chuck some of this shit?!" Great line from the movie to describe it's poor ass NES game counterpart. :)
Another NES game where you can't die in the final battle is Mario is Missing! The boss goes right through Luigi not damaging him at all. I thought that was the only unloseable final boss battle in a game. Apparently I was wrong. Nice review. The game sounded ok for a while. Then again its just another failed movie game.
And let's not forget FFX...unless you count BFA *cough trying not to spoil cough* as the final boss (which I couldn't blame anyone for doing, heh heh).
