|
Shark JAWS ist das erste Arcade-Videospiel mit animierten Figuren. Der Titel Shark JAWS spielt auf den US-Kinofilm Jaws! (dt.: Der weiße Hai) von 1974 an, das "Shark" wurde absichtlich sehr klein angefügt und das Spiel unter dem Label Horror Games herausgebracht, um möglichen Rechtsstreitigkeiten mit den Filmproduzenten aus dem Weg zu gehen bzw. den Namen Atari nicht mit hineinzuziehen. Die Marke "Horror Games" wurde nur für dieses eine Spiel genutzt. In der Nerd-Sitcom The Big Bang Theory befindet sich das Spiel in der Episode Das Mississippi-Missverständnis (8x07, The Misinterpretation Agitation, 2014) im Keller von Dr. Lorvis, zusammen mit Gotcha, Asteroids, Tempest, Centipede und Computer Space. |
