Shark! Shark! for Mattel Intellivision | Surprisingly So-FISH-ticated for 1982!

Maybe the first fish-eat-fish free-swim game ever, and it's from 1982!

Shark! is an Intellivision game originally designed by Don Daglow, and with additional design and programming by Ji-Wen Tsao, one of the first female game programmers in the history of video games. The player is a fish who must eat smaller fishes in order to gain points and extra lives while avoiding enemies such as larger fishes, sharks, jellyfish, lobsters and crabs. After eating a certain number of fish, the player's fish grows in size and is thus able to eat a larger selection of fish. However, while the larger fish becomes a bit faster, he is less agile than the small fish and has a harder time avoiding enemies. Shark! Shark! was originally considered by Mattel to be a cute game for kids and unlikely to make strong inroads into the gaming community.[citation needed] The game was unexpectedly popular, forcing Mattel to quickly manufacture another batch of cartridges. The original cartridge run was only 5,600 units. #intellivision #atari #retrogaming #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Grips, Sticks, & Triggers on Your PHONE? Possible with PuK!

Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk PuK Gaming makes a modular set of mobile-gaming accessories designed to replace awkward touchscreen controls with physical, console-style inputs. Their flagship item is the PuK Thumbstick, a magnetic joystick that sits over the on-screen virtual stick and gives you real analog-style movement without lag or screen damage. They pair that with PuK Triggers, attachable physical shoulder buttons that mimic controller L/R taps for shooters, and PuK Grips* ergonomic handles that clip onto your phone to make long sessions more comfortable. They also sell a PuK Link Cable with a reinforced 90° connector designed to stay out of the way during gameplay. The key idea behind PuK’s product line is flexibility: instead of buying a single bulky controller shell, you mix and match only the accessories you want. Whether you need just a thumbstick for better aim in shooters, a couple of triggers for faster firing, or a full grip-and-trigger combo for long sessions, each piece works independently. The ecosystem is designed to turn a standard smartphone into something that feels much more like a handheld console, but without losing the portability of mobile gaming. #handheld #mobilegaming #retrogaming #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 PuK 01:43 The Collection 02:27 Zipcase 02:53 Thumb Sleeves 05:32 TheGrips 07:58 Link Cable 09:13 Triggers 11:34 TheThumbstick 14:55 Summary
