The 1st of 3 games in the now infamous LJN Horror game trilogy. I first discovered this game back in late Elementary school but didn't play it until Junior-high right around the time that I had got myself a competently working NES console along with several games not too long afterwards (Batman, T2, Zelda 1 & 2, TMNT etc.). Being a massive fan of the movies and books I was super excited and intrigued to learn as much as I could about it and find it and hopefully snag a copy for myself. Its Jaws...how could it suck...right? Well to say I was disappointed at the time was a rather large understatement. I found it to be a very bland and boring game. But that was at the time. In the years following I've come to sort of appreciate and like the game in weird way. In essence I view the game as a rather generic harmless little shooter cashing in on a big name franchise that's quick to finish. It's not actually half bad compared to some of the others out there honestly. Being based off the notorious 4th movie in the franchise Jaws: The Revenge it does manage to incorporate some of the elements of the movie into the game itself like the Mini-sub, the Plane and the sailboat that you sail around the screen on was a big part of the movie's climax as well. Plus the way that you kill Jaws by impaling it the bow of the ship is the original cut ending to the movie (although added back in for the Cable TV version) so that was a rather nice touch too. The 8-bit rendition of the infamous Jaws theme was nicely done too with the rest of the music being not too bad either. The game has responsive control and a decent difficulty (impaling Jaws is a nightmare though) so really its not too bad when I sit back and think about it. I think my expectations were FAR too high hence the bitter disappointment. Honestly I actually like all 3 games in the LJN horror trilogy....they're my guilty pleasure I guess. The only thing is this playthrough was another one of those "first-take" videos where I just plugged it in and hit record...warts n' all. Its one of the game playthroughs that I will more than likely end up redoing one of these days to get a better time and less wasting time and missing the damn shark at the end of the game so....yeah that may happen in the future. Overall its not too bad a game. Not the best certainly but not the worst either. If you run across a cheap copy in decent shape I'd say get it and give it a spin. Just don't expect it to be mind blowing that's all. This was also done on an actual cartridge as well.



Hope You Enjoy!
