Game Overview

Lochjaw is one of those weird, tense Atari 2600 games that somehow makes swimming for diamonds feel like a horror movie. You start inside this rickety shark cage, and the second you swim out, there’s already a shark patrolling the maze like it’s got a personal grudge against you. No weapons, no fancy moves—just you, some shiny diamonds, and a whole lot of panic.

The worst part? That shark doesn’t just go after you—it’ll snatch up your hard-earned diamonds too if you’re not quick. And then there’s Nessie, lurking somewhere in the maze. Accidentally wake it up, and suddenly you’ve got two things chasing you while you desperately try to shove the monster back into a cave. The cage is your only safe spot, but you can’t stay there forever if you want points. It’s chaotic, unfair, and weirdly addictive once you get the hang of it.

Honestly, half the fun is watching everything go wrong in new ways each time.
