Fake ass Shark games
Don’t get bit by these imposters!
Carcharodon: White Sharks
1991
WHAT IS IT?
Shark enthusiasts may recognize the title as reference to Carcharodon carcharias (The Great White!), but any relation to sharks and this forgotten Amiga game ends there. The side-scrolling shooter was regarded as “bland” twenty years ago, and the fact that no one has spoken the name since then just goes to show that capitalizing on sharks can only get you so far.

Before their genetic transformation, the Bolton Bros were the Saturday Morning embodiment of Caucasian stere-bro-types, thus it’s high time they received their own game. Oh… wouldn’t it be:
Greg Norman's Shark Attack!
1990
WHAT IS IT?
Perhaps the most dastardly and deceptive Shark attribution of all time! To be fair, “eight years of development” and “painstaking 3D modeling” doesn’t mean a whole lot when your final product is still a golf game. And yes, Australian golf pro, Greg Norman had been going by “The Great White Shark” for years despite only representing two thirds of the nickname… But then this asshole had the gall to go buy the domain SHARK.COM! Which, when researching sharks, is the internet equivalent of finding balls on your prostitute.
