Red Shark
1982
WHAT IS IT?
Yet another dated helicopter game, only this time, there’s a twist! You’re a pilot from 2010 whisked back to WWII to - yes - kill Nazis, BUT ALSO pull the rug out from under your Russian allies in hopes of making a better, Commie-free six months from now. Either way, you’ll travel from Russia to Egypt with nary a shark to be seen.

Pool Shark
1977 – 2003
WHAT IS IT?
Any parlor game with a remote chance of a hustle appears to have no problem misusing the name of these proud predators. Just because some idiot is adept at billiards doesn’t make him “a shark.” Would you call Kobe Bryant a “Basketball Shark?” Of course you wouldn’t! Besides, sharks kill only for food and fun, and very rarely for rent money and airtime on ESPN2.
