About the game
The Game of Jaws is a 1975 game produced by the Ideal Toy Company. The game is based on the blockbuster film of the same name. Today, the game is rare and is a valuable collector's item. Jaws features a plastic great white shark, as well as 13 junk pieces. The junk pieces are things like tires, human skulls, etc. The game was also released as "Sharky's Diner" many years later. Despite being based on the mature-oriented horror film, the game’s age range was initially 6+ and later changed to 4+. It was remade by the National Entertainment Collectibles Association in 2025 for the film’s 50th anniversary with a more film accurate shark and pieces.More from Arxon
