 Jaws (Video Game)
comment
Jaws is a NES game from the year 1987, based on the Jaws franchise, mostly on the fourth film. It was released by LJN Toys and developed by Westone, better known for their work on the Wonder Boy series.Your main goal is to kill the giant shark, Jaws (yes, its name is actually Jaws here.) To accomplish this, you sail between two ports with your boat. Most of the gameplay features you being drafted into underwater segments where you harpoon your way out of attacking jellyfish, stingrays and sharks and collect stuff from them. Occasionally, you are attacked by the giant shark itself. You gradually become stronger as you travel in the sea, and once you reach your limit, you'll able to finish the giant shark for good.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: The price to upgrade the power of your harpoon gun goes up with every level up. The first level up costs three shells, the second costs five, then seven, then ten, then all subsequent upgrades go up by increments of five.

Cap: The highest level the power of the harpoon gun can reach is level 9. Once it's fully upgraded, visiting harbors will instead allow you to buy extra strobes for the final scene.

comment
One-Hit-Point Wonder: Getting hit by anything during the underwater segments will result in the player losing a life. The only way to get one extra hit point is to get the submarine power up. In the final scene, it only takes one hit from the front of your boat to finish off Jaws, but that hit requires top-notch timing.

Bonus Stage: If you kill enough sharks, you'll get to play a stage where you have to fly a plane and bombard jellyfish with depth charges, Galaga style. The more jellyfish you hit, the more points and shells you will earn.
