    Congets @RickR ! I hadn't played many INTV games, never played "Shark shark" so I can't compare the two.
    Yeah "Go Fish" seemed to start slow waiting in the weeds for some morsel to swim by
    last night I had troubles with the electric eels and didn't improve my score 😬 just when I thought things were going good too
    Oh well ... there's always the next squad challenge

    took this pic awhile ago ...figgered it'd make good wall paper every once inawhile they will fall off the little ledger I have there
    I look for 'em at thrifts open 'em up the instructions usually have a parts list so I'll take the time too see if it's complete I try and find stuff from the earliest patent of the game (like first editions I guess) ... IMHO ... if it looks old its pretty cool ... my family doesn't alway agree ... I still haven't played my 1934 Monopoly yet ;"(
    for family gatherings I usually take 4 or 5 games with me. they also have favorites of their own. some winners I brought were "The Amazing Race", "Score Four", "Trouble", "Dynamite Shack" ... they always have a "scabble-off" "Settlers of Catan" ( or just Catan ) is wildly popular
    the card games like D&D ain't my thing
    I would like to learn how to play "Go" I have one with the stones & all .... one of these days I guess

    I think extended version was made only because people were maxing out the score and I think perhaps it doesn't revert back to zero.
    I am guessing the extra digit capabilities makes the ROM size much larger than the origonal 2k
    I dunno the file size of what's on my cart
    ok the AA store says the filesize is 8k .... NOW the question is .... what's that 2k file that's on your Harmony :P
    I'm ok with the 1368 score just put an asterix beside it 😉

    To answer your question, it seems to be set to beginner by default. I definitely started as the tiniest fish.

    FYI Intellivision is releasing a modern variant of Shark! Shark! for the Amico, I saw it earlier this week in Intellivision's new gameplay trailer which @Atari Creep covered here:

    wow a shark came outta nowhere while I was trapped between 2 long fishes ... I was a pretty tasty treat for him

    I do happen to have the cart & manual
    game-play: "eat or be eaten"
    eat fish your size or smaller ....
    your fish will grow @ 5; 19; 55 & 132 on novice setting
    avoid jellyfish , electric eels & sharks
    I am going with this image thinking I had more than one life, hitting the button after death starts a new screen (new score)

    chas10e got a reaction from RickR in What I'm Thankful For   
    Had a terrific Thanksgiving day.
    Brought the "go-bag" in upstairs to one of the gaming areas of my nieces known as "The schoolroom". Nephew had to get a multi-tap outlet ...yada-de-ya.  First cart he wanted to play was "Space Invaders" so I went to level "33" co-operative 2 player mode then progressed up through the variations from there til we got to invisible, wiggly barricades, with doubled & fast wiggly enemy fire.
    He's been getting into Looney Tunes so I brought "Taz" & had some good rounds of that. later in the evening he brought me a Spiderman PnP he found while cleaning the basement or something that needed the battery tray cleaned. So we used ""SCIENCE"" white vineger & q-tips away from all the food washing hands afterwards. had to steal batteries outta the xb360 controllers
    played some boardgames, food, movie theater (Joker)
    And now on to the portion we call "Thanks-feasting" next 3 days of leftovers more boardgames, videogames ping-pong, Foosball

    if it's an original power supply from Japan you would need an adapter
    DO NOT use an origonal NES power supply as it outputs 10V AC ( not DC power )
    great wright-up on power supplies in above link and looks like a neat little unit you have there

    No hot sauce for me thanks !!! anything hotter than a bar-b-Que potato chip is WAY to spicy for me !
    Every once in a while I will do a tiny dip of salsa if available eating tortilla chips from a mexican resturant. mild is ok and will try a bigger scoop if not to spicy.
