Play Battle Shark Online

Battle Shark is this weird little arcade gem from Nintendo—one of their last games that used actual 16mm film for the visuals. You're stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean, and this torpedo boat just keeps creeping closer while you frantically try to shoot it down. The whole thing’s over in just 70 seconds, so it’s pure panic from the second you drop a coin in.

If you manage to land enough shots (8 points, to be exact), you get a free game—which is good, because you’ll probably need it. The film gives it this grainy, slightly surreal look that makes the whole thing feel like some forgotten military training reel. It’s short, intense, and oddly hypnotic once you get into the rhythm of it.
