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

Atari in 2025: Cartridges? Yes—Fight Me

Atari just dropped a surprise for retro gamers — brand-new physical cartridges for the Atari 7800 in 2025! That’s right, officially licensed Bandai Namco classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious are hitting shelves again for the 7800 and 7800+. But is this a collector’s dream or just nostalgia gone too far? Meanwhile, the voice behind the legendary “Toasty!” line from Mortal Kombat has left the studio, marking the end of an era for one of gaming’s most iconic sound bites. And in the DIY corner, a creative modder has turned LEGO bricks into a fully functional Game Boy — and yes, it actually plays games! From Atari’s retro revival to Mortal Kombat goodbyes and brick-built handhelds, this week’s episode of Bit By Bit covers everything that makes gaming history worth revisiting. ?
