This game deserved great success. Too bad it came so late.

Graphics: 4 Sound: 5 Replay Value: 4 Notes: 1- or 2-player; too bad you have to lose all your fish to hear the song! Screen Shots

Shark! Shark! is another one of those refreshingly original games Mattel produced towards the dismal end of the Golden Age of the console. The soundtrack is excellent - I just wish that you didn't have to end the game to hear the main theme! The 9-year-old daughter of a close friend of mine - who holds her own on N64 and other newer consoles - loves this game! That's how fun it is - a jaded child from today's world of gaming can even enjoy this one!

A total of six Shark! Shark! box variants have been documented.
