I meant as it is. It obviously could have been spruced up to be a good retro-style NES game. I don't think that was within LJN's capability, though.

As stated above this fish 'em up was developed by our good friends at Westone, creators of the Wonder Boy series. Shocking right!? :)

That's some very surprising info to me. Jaws never seemed so bad as people say, just a bit too short and simple. It seems its gameplay mechanics were more akin to a 2600 game (not that they are bad, just simpler than what Nes games could have allowed to do).

I quite like Jaws.  Way too short, yeah, but still fun.  It was a ripoff back then but just right at whatever it's worth now.  A dollar CIB?

CIB copies usually go for around $20 in nice condition

My friend and I played Jaws as a rental one weekend.  I think he was disappointed but I kinda liked it, myself.  I didn't learn of the Westone connection until a few years ago, but that just adds to the charm for me.  I would definitely pick it up on the cheap.

I just picked up some games that I ah e been wanting to try for some time.


All loose for $5 a game

Legendary wings
Hogans Ally (already had but it was $5 and in better condition then my old one)
Kickle cubical
Jackle
Journey into Sillious
Shadow gate
Monster party
Thundercade (the cover art looked like G.I. Joe from the 80s had to try it out lol. Plus it was a "Sammy" game which I typically like.

Also got Kickmaster for $45. Kind of pricy for a NES game  but meh. Let's go crazy.

I've been after Kickmaster for a while but then the collectards sniffed it out and drove the price up. $45 is a good deal nowadays.

It was?  I am blissfully unaware of some of the more pricy NES games apart from you little damsons and flint stones dinosore peek level stupid asking prices.

Unfortunately I think all I have left to pick up on the NES on my want list are the pricyer games.

I think the only "cheap" BES games still on the list is Mike Tysons Punch out, base wars, power blade, adventure island III, and uninvited.

The rest

Little Samson
Rescue Rangers 2
Bonk (shitty conspired to the Tg-16 and not a desperate need for anything over $10)
Power Blade 2
Fire n ice
Krion Conquest
Bubble Bobble 2
Both flintstone games
Mighty Final Fight
Panic Resturant

I think that's it.
