''Shark Jaws'' is a 1975 Creator/{{Atari}} UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame, created to cash in on the success of the movie ''Film/{{Jaws}}''. Atari couldn't get a license from Universal, so they created a subsidiary, Horror Games, to protect them from a lawsuit (which never happened).

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: You respawn after a couple of seconds.
* ScoringPoints
* TheSeventies: Made to cash in on the movie ''Film/{{Jaws}}''.
