Go Fish! - Atari 2600

As a big fan of Shark! Shark!, I was extremely happy to see this spiritual successor make its way to the 2600. In many ways it reminds me of a maze-less Pac-Man, where you can roam freely yet warily, always attentive to what can eat you and what can be eaten.

The distribution of fish sizes allows you to play it safe or go for increasingly larger prey - at an accordingly greater risk. And growing your fish to take down those who were previously your tormentors is extremely satisfying. A personal favorite.

This is an excellent homebrew based on the IntelliVision original library game Shark! Shark! By Bob Montgomery! Tommy Montgomery's music, and sound effects are nicely done. Congratulations to Renato Brito for having submitted the winning manual, and cartridge label design. Perhaps sharks aren't quite the prominent central enemy characters they were in Shark! Shark!, and some of the other enemy characters have been changed, but it's still a great homebrew. Also being one of the first homebrews to utilize AtariVox support is notable. For any who maybe interested my YouTube channel's review video on this homebrew maybe found here: https://youtu.be/fnFH_TAc72M

A very fun and solid 2-player game. Its appeal won't last that long in single-player mode. Definitely a game, that should be played with friends.

Well there really isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said and I absolutely agree with everyone elses reviews.

This is a great little game, begins slow paced and is pleasantly relaxing to just float around in the ocean, eating other fish. There is so much animation going on, on screen... the waves move, the fish swim fluttering their tails and the seaweed flows with a rhythem to the ocean.

There isn't a pause, but you can take a break or refuge on the sea floor behind the seaweed only sticking your head out for food while keeping an eye out for danger.

I personally love this little game and it's a real gem to add to your collection. The manual couldn't have been any better. Not only does it have a great layout, but it explains the game very well with beautiful illustrations and color.
The dark blue label sticking out of my Atari game port looks very pleasing.

Highly recommend.

I just got this game in the mail and am already totally addicted! The graphics, the sound and gameplay are all a joy to behold. The presentation with the full color manual is beautiful. Anyway, I can't write anymore...I have a high score to crack!
