Octopus (Machine Type: Game Boy)
The Game Boy Gallery was a series of collections featuring classic Game & Watch games, and “Octopus” was one of those original Game & Watch games.
The Game & Watch “Octopus” game involved a deep-sea diver attempting to collect treasure from a sunken ship while avoiding the tentacles of a giant octopus. The goal was to collect as much treasure as possible without getting caught by the octopus.
In the context of a Game Boy Gallery, “Octopus” would have been included as one of the titles in the collection, where you could play an updated or a classic version of this game on the Game Boy system. The Game Boy Gallery series typically included multiple games, each with both modern and classic modes, often with updated graphics and gameplay for the newer version.
