ThunderJaws

Conversions

Home conversion of Thunderjaws were released in 1991 by Domark and Tengen, with the Commodore 64, Amstrad, Atari ST and Amiga all receiving their own port. All of these are functional enough conversions of Atari's coin-up but both the flaws inherent in the original and the unsurprising use of yet another encompassing border cramping the playing area ultimately weaken them. The Amiga version, despite a crippling six-month development and forcibly downsized sprites, ultimately fares the best with faithul sound and graphics and the inclusion of all 13 levels as seen on arcade machine.
