THERE'S NO ESCAPE
The Great White Shark is on the prowl and knows where you are! This shark appears to be possessed... as if it's hunting you down. Your south seas adventure has turned into a nightmare. So get out of your mini-sub, sea-plane, sailboat and scuba gear and strike back before it's too late!
GAME PLAY: You start the adventure in your sailboat cruising in the islands, when suddenly you see the fins of the Great White breaking the surface of the water. Before you know it, you're underwater with Jaws and other sea creatures with bombs and torpedoes while looking for conch shells which can be used to buy a transmitter or increase your power level when you sail into one of two harbors with your sailboat. Occasionally, you get an opportunity to bomb jellyfish from your sea-plane for extra conches. When Jaws is getting near his end, the final heart pounding scene appears where you struggle to drive your sailboat into Jaws as he lunges out of the water.
Loosely based on the fourth movie "Jaws: the Revenge", players take control of a ship to sail the ocean in the search for the killer shark. Along the way, the ship will stop to allow a diver to swim out and kill baby sharks, jellyfish and manta rays to find conch shells. The conch shells are used to buy upgrades for the boat. Extra conch shells can be earned in bonus rounds where a sea plane flies over the water to bomb jellyfish (think the bonus rounds of Galaga with reversed perspective).
The diver will battle Jaws several times in an attempt to wear down his life meter. If the player is lucky, they can find a submarine to increase their firepower and defense.
If the diver manages to wear down Jaws' energy, they take back to the boat again, launching strobes into the water in an attempt to lure the shark out of the water. If close enough, the player can use the boat to ram Jaws in an attempt to kill him and win the game.
