I played and beat Jaws today. That sure was repetitive. I think I'll do a review on it at some point.

Yeah, not a lot to Jaws, but still one of the games from my childhood that I look back on very fondly. Still holds up pretty well for me. Love to see a Pam review. Smiley

New achievement for Jaws.  Shaggy actually found the game for the playthrough and played it!

@singlebanana:

Thanks and good luck! The 4th dungeon starts with those annoying red bubbles.

Yes.... Funny I remember blue and red bubbles mentioned in the original manual, but never saw them. Only the temporarily disable bubbles appear in the first quest.

The general opinion of Jaws is that it's a bad game. I like to think of it as an enhanced version of Seaquest from the 2600. Seaquest was one of my favorite games on Atari, thus, I like Jaws.

It's also one of the few games of it's time where being in the water doesn't suck. I hate water levels in SMB, I hate the water level in TMNT, hate the water in Blaster Master, etc.

Good call on Seaquest for the 2600. Definitely a huge similarity

Well, I beat this game at power level 5 and a score of 32,000 and something.  What the heck is up with the ending?!?!?!?!?

I rented this as a kid and had no manual and couldn't figure out what to do or I sucked at it.  Take your pick.  Playing this again, it is a short, relatively easy game but I strangely like it.  I started playing again after I beat the game.  On another note, I also think Friday the 13th wasn't that bad except for the fact I didn't know what I had to do to kill Jason.  This game has no depth at all but I had fun once I got to the underwater shooting.  Now that Jerry mentions it, it is like Seaquest.

@Shaggy:  Congrats! The ending does suck but it's still an entertaining game.

Still a better ending than Karnov...

I don't find the ending so much. I love the shark sinking to the bottom. Compare it to Contra and basically the only difference is a credit roll.

@singlebanana: The ending of the Famicom version of Karnov is better. There are three different endings:

I've kind of been live Tweeting my experience with The Legend of Zelda, since it's my first time playing through it, but I haven't shared here yet, so here are the achievements I've completed so far:

2. Acquire the white sword
3. Acquire the magical sword
4. Acquire the Power Bracelet
6. Use the raft and ladder to acquire two outland heart containers

No idea where the blue ring is, or how to summon a tornado yet, and I'm only through half of the dungeons so far.  I'm really liking this game, and having a lot of fun, though it can be frustrating at times, when you randomly walk to the next screen and are almost immediately assaulted by an enemy with an unblockable attack, and you lose your sword throw ability!

@FRO: Buy a large shield. You'll be able to block almost all attacks then.

I've completed objectives 1-9 on LoZ, and hope to get started on the second quest for a little bit tonight.
