Jaws games

When I was a kid we had the original Jaws game. A Buckaroo variant where you fish things out of a plastic sharks mouth and lose if it snaps shut. I’m not kidding.

Howdy howdy howdy!

Some missing pieces meant Bruce the shark spent more time fighting Action Man.

(There’s now a more screen accurate rerelease for the anniversary. I’m still not kidding.)

There have also been more involved board and video games since.

I could imagine a small town horror game running a few sessions, though the last encounter would be a bit tactical for my style, unless it ran entirely on high fatality vibes, maybe with a Dead Of Night transferable survival system to possibly avoid a TPK.
