Don’t Go in the Water
August 20th, 2004
I will readily admit that Jaws the Movie - changed my life. I am about to go on vacation to Martha’s Vineyard (aka - Jaws Central) and when I take the Edgartown ferry to Chapaquidick - my pulse starts racing.
I am afraid of: swimming pools, rivers, lakes, my own bath tub, and of course the ocean from time to time. This movie even made me as a wee lad afraid to drink out of dark Tupperware cups.
When I think of the perfect Jaws game - it would be almost like being with Quint and Brody on the boat - just hanging out - waiting for good old Jaws to come around. You would talk and interact with them - they would come up with ideas on how to catch the shark - and you could use a variety of things to accomplish the goal - however you know how it would end… you in the water - with a gun shooting at the tank. Or even a game that let’s you plot out how you discover and find out about all the things the shark did?
I have been waiting for a Jaws game of any quality - forever. Maybe this will be the one…
“Majesco (OTC BB: MJSH), a leading publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment products, today announced that it has secured the interactive entertainment rights to one of the most enduring action-suspense films of all time, Universal Pictures’ and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Developed by Appaloosa, the video game is scheduled to ship in summer 2005 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the film’s theatrical release.”




Yeah, after watching both Jaws and that James Bond with the shark in the Pool, I pretty much swore off swimming altogether for about 10 years.
I actually owned the original Nintendo Jaws game. I’ll be looking forward to this rehash.
