 Sewer Shark (Video Game)
comment
Sewer Shark is a 1992 first-person Rail Shooter that was sold with the ill-fated Sega CD console, and shortly afterwards ported to the equally ill-fated 3DO console (with somewhat higher quality audio and videos than the Sega CD version). The game was made by Digital Pictures, the company who also made such classics as Make My Video, Night Trap and Corpse Killer with Apogee Productions, of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Spaceballs assisting. It was published by Sony Imagesoft.Set 20 Minutes into the Future, it centers around "sewer jockeys", exterminators hired to clean the sewers of dangerous mutant vermin using flying ships and gatling guns. Gameplay-wise, it's a fairly average rail shooter — mostly, it's known for being the first video game for a game console to use full-motion video for its primary gameplay and for its memorable cutscenes.

Trial-and-Error Gameplay
 Sewer Shark (Video Game) / int_29c50e28
comment
Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Your ship runs on an energy meter, and if it depletes, you automatically lose. There are 7 recharge stations in the entire game, and at each of them you have to make either a left or right turn into, with the only indicator being a pair of lights on the ceiling: green marks where the recharge is switched on, while red is switched off, and the Sega CD's lacking color palette makes telling which is which very difficult before it's too late to make the turn. The exact turns you need to make for each one is static (and thus, can be written down). You can afford to miss every other one, though.

The Lancer: Ghost (the "greatest co-pilot to ever shoot the tubes"), though he's something of an inversion because of his mentor-like experience and the fact that HE'S the one who gets the girl, Falco, in the end. Of course, there's MANY other tropes that Ghost fits into simultaneously, but most notably Cynical Mentor.

Thankfully, after a certain point, the required score is dropped altogether. Unfortunately, this is at the last two levels of the game, where all pretense of mercy is dropped and failing to hit any major target is an instant Game Over.

comment
One-Hit Kill: A few things: Forgetting the sequence of turns given to you at the start of most sections results in a crash. This gets worse in two cases - in one case, you're only given the direction as audio. In the other, you're following a bird and have to make the turns when it does. Missing an exploding enemy causes your ship to detonate. Additionally, failing to have Catfish detonate pockets of hydrogen ahead of younote "Watch your H2 level!" from flying too deeply into the sewers will make the ship detonate it instead, with lethal results.

Non-Standard Game Over
 Sewer Shark (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b
comment
Nonstandard Game Over: Each checkpoint has a (hidden) required score and a target score.note The "pounds of tubesteak" Ghost refers to. Where your score is in relation to these values determines the exact cutscenes you get at each one, but being below the required score results in Ghost effectively kicking you out. Thankfully, after a certain point, the required score is dropped altogether. Unfortunately, this is at the last two levels of the game, where all pretense of mercy is dropped and failing to hit any major target is an instant Game Over. At one point, Ghost will order you to get ready and fire your weapon during a test. If you assume that this isn't an interactive portion of the game and flub it, Ghost gets totally pissed off at you, fails you, and the game's credits roll.

Informed Attribute: Ghost is supposed to be an amazing Sewer Shark pilot, but since you are the pilot and gunner and Catfish is the navigator, all he ever does is give you shit for one thing or another. Also midway through the game Ghost supercharges the engines and installs some badass new guns on the ship. Any actual changes to performance are so small as to be unnoticeable. Zerks are supposed to weigh an average of 50,000 pounds note  The game uses the weight in pounds of whatever you kill to determine your score. Zerks are enemies that appear at the very end of the game, and because of that are worth literal tons of points. . Somehow the obese, out-of-shape Corrupt Corporate Executive can run around with a box full of them, no problem.

comment
Shout-Out: Ghost will crow about The Stench of Victory. Ghost occasionally shouts "Don't think! If you think, you're dead", which is likely paraphrased from Top Gun. If the disc is played in an audio CD player, there's a track that references The Beatles' "Revolution 9".

Hover Bot: Catfish. He goes ahead of your ship to find the route you need to take to accomplish your objective, whether it's as simple as "find mutated sewer creatures to shoot" or as complicated as "follow another ship and give me directions." He's played by an awful wire-controlled puppet. Well, it was the mid-'90s and FMV games didn't have the best resolution...

Incoming Ham: "WELCOME TO THE SEWERS, PUNK!" Has the added benefit of being yelled directly into the camera during an uncomfortable closeup, as is the case with literally every other line of Underwood's dialogue. The intro is nothing but Underwood yelling hammy lines into the camera while overly-intense music punctuates his manly exclamations. It's actually kind of awesome.

comment
Action Girl: Falco, though you never technically get to see her in actual...you know...ACTION. Her badassery is pretty much implied through the opening intro, where both she AND Ghost basically tell you that any LIVING pilots automatically get conferred the title of badass in the sewers. She gets kidnapped by Stenchler later on as well, so she seems to lean more towards Faux Action Girl.

Press X to Not Die: A lot. The most annoying: when you're told to fire the updated gatling gun, despite all appearances, that's not a cutscene - fail to hit the button and you lose instantly.
