Play Lochjaw Online

Lochjaw was an Atari 2600 game from 1982, developed by Apollo. It came out during a time when many games were simple, maze-like challenges, and this one fit right in with its straightforward, tense premise.

You control a diver inside a cage at the bottom of the ocean, moving around to collect diamonds while avoiding a shark and the Loch Ness Monster. The main goal is to gather all the diamonds without getting caught. Key mechanics include screen by screen movement within the cage, evading enemies that patrol the area, and managing your limited space. The pacing is relentless; the shark and Nessie are persistent, and one mistake can cost you a life. It feels like a constant, nervous scramble against time and threat.
