Shark Jaws is an action video game by Atari, Inc. under the name of Horror Games, originally released for arcades in 1975. An unlicensed tie-in to the movie Jaws, and believed to be the first commercially released movie tie-in, it was created to be a game about sharks eating people.[2][3] According to Bushnell, the game was successful enough to sell approximately two thousand units.[3]
In the game, the player controls a deep-sea diver trying to catch small fish while avoiding a great white shark that is trying to eat him. Points are scored by running over the fish to catch them.[4]
The unrelated 1972 electromechanical arcade game Killer Shark from Sega was briefly featured in Jaws.[5]
