The game has you play as a little yellow fish. The object of the game is to eat other fish and grow bigger, allowing you to eat bigger fish who would've eaten you otherwise.
Of course, sometimes, a shark will appear on-screen and start swimming about. The game [=IS=] called "Shark! Shark!" after all. You can either avoid the shark until it leaves, or you can decide to take on the shark.
The game was released on December 6th, 1982.
