Steven Spielberg's blockbuster, 1975, man-eating great white shark attack movie, Jaws, requires no introduction. "We're gonna need a bigger boat." Right, now we're all on the same page...
In 1989, the unforgettable jump-scare thriller was adapted for the second time to the medium of video gaming, on this occasion by developers 'Intelligent Design' for 8 and 16-bit home computers. Embodying police chief, Martin Brody, with support from professional shark hunter, Captain Quint, and oceanographer, Matt Hooper, it's our responsibility to race against time, juggling resources and fraught relationships to minimise the risk of shark attacks and therefore the slaughter of civilian life. Whilst deliberating over when to cordon off beaches (resulting in loss of income, inciting the mayor's wrath), we must collect four constituent components of the super-gun and mega-bullets required to slay Jaws. Complicating matters, Jaws isn't the only sea life that poses a threat; en route to gathering the scattered artillery pieces, we face all manner of lethal aquatic baddies that must be kept at bay with our standard weapon as we scavenge life-supporting oxygen supplies.
