Shark! Shark!

released on Dec 06, 1982

In Shark! Shark! you control a fish! Your goal is to earn as many points as possible while staying alive. Swimming in the ocean with you are other fish of various sizes, lobsters, crabs, jellyfish, and a very fast shark. You are able to eat any fish that is smaller in size than you are, and any fish that is larger will eat you! The shark can also be killed if you nibble at its tail several times, but careful for the shark can turn quickly. Each time you eat a fish or nibble on the sharks tail, points are earned. Each time you score 1000 points, your fish will grow larger in size allowing you to eat even more of the fish on the screen. Several different game speeds are included, and one or two players can play.

Simple premise but executed well.

This is one of my absolute fav chillout games, the Intellivision controller isn't so much a problem as it usually is since you're only using the disc, and once you figure out how to take down sharks, you can get into a nice groove and start racking up lives

You're a little fish. Eat fish smaller than you to slowly grow into a bigger fish. Keep eating fish smaller than you. Don't get eaten by fish bigger than you. You win.

I was playing this one time while my then-girlfriend was in the room and at one point I very excitedly exclaimed "Oooh we're getting big, now!" and she told me "no, you never do".
1/5 memory for a silly 4/5 game.
