Santulli Slant: A long-time favorite 'round here at 44 Hunter, this highly original game is a cross between David & Goliath, an aquarium screen saver, and any other game that makes your thumbs hurt a lot. Eat little fish, avoid big fish, and mix it up with an angry shark to get points. There are unpredictable lobsters and super-human (hmm) sea-horses to boot. It's even more fun with two players, which earns it extra points. [Gr: 8, So: 7, Ga: 9, Ov: 9]

Periodical's review: Named by Electronic Fun Magazine as one of the "50 Best Games" in March 1984. Listed as one of the "99 Favorite Classics" by Digital Press in 1997.
