I got the Ideal Jaws game one year for Christmas, the movie itself made me to timid swim in the ocean, lakes and even pools. I never said I was a bright kid.
It was a pretty inventive game but I really only remember playing it once or twice before Jaws became a supervillain for my Mego Superheroes to fight. Great game but an even better action figure.
i was a little afraid just taking a bath....beat that!!!!

Same here - liked the game, but LOVED having him chomp on my Megos! I forgot all about this game until you posted it here, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had this one.. It was like pick-up sticks with a more dramatic ending. :)
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why a half-eaten Quint wasn't one of the pieces.
I'll bet that nearly 100% of the sharks turned from game to supervillian in the end.
ReplyDeletehalf-eaten Quint? Ewwww!
I'm betting you're right arkonbey...
ReplyDeleteMy shark terrorized everything from Star Trek Mego, GI Joe, to vintage Star Wars!
i had this game as a kid, and played it with my older sister.
ReplyDeleteyears later, i found it again, and have played it with her son!
rob!: that is so super cool. Did he like it? That's be even cooler.
ReplyDeleteI still remember the tv commercial for this game.

I had this game, and I loved it until my Grandma accidentally threw away his bottom "Jaw".
ReplyDeleteA few years later I lit ground bloom flowers (those fireworks that spun on the ground and lit up into different colors) in his mouth until his face melted off.
I was scared to go poop after this movie, I was 7 and my Dad took us too see Jaws at the drive in !!!
