Jaws NES Playthrough

in #nes6 years ago

This game brings back more memories than I can ever fully express. I could remember seeing this game on the shelf of KB Toys and wanting it so badly. I could remember doing as many extra chores and helping everyone I thought I could get a dollar from to put toward it. I remember going into the store with so much joy and plunking my money down on the counter and asking for the game. I remember the worker walking toward the giant glass case that seemed like it had 100 locks on it. As a kid it reminded me of those scenes in movies where they needed two keys turned at the same time to launch a rocket. My grandma was the one who was there with me, she asked if I was sure that's what I wanted. I nodded with excitement being as Jaws was, and still is in my top 10 favorite movies. The worker handed me my bag with my game in it, I don't remember getting my change, I probably didn't. I peered into the bag with so much excitement....and then I got home. THIS GAME WAS NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIE!! WHAT WAS THIS??? I could remember being very disappointed while playing through this game, hoping there would be more to it. There wasn't. I learned to like the game and find more, and less challenging ways to defeat "Jaws". I remember letting my friend borrow this game in exchange for Marble Madness...I never got it back.
