Top 5-10 Best Games in 1975, review: Shark JAWS, Jet Fighter, Hi-Way, Crossfire, Anti-Aircraft, Crash 'N Score



Shark JAWS  Arcade

You play as a deep-sea diver hunting for fish while being pursued by a shark. Your objective is to devour fish with your character while avoiding the shark. Originally, Atari attempted to license this well-known movie franchise, but eventually opted for a clever workaround. 

The arcade prominently displayed the word "Jaws" in large letters, with the word "shark" written inconspicuously in smaller letters.

Points are earned for each fish consumed. The unique aspect of the game is that you have no lives; you lose when caught by the shark, consuming the remaining time.


Jet Fighter  Arcade

In this game, you control a fighter jet attempting to destroy enemy aircraft. Upon a successful hit, an explosion occurs, and after a while, another enemy appears at the destroyed one's location with a random initial movement.

The game is timed, and your achievements either add or deduct time, which you must use to destroy the enemy a greater number of times.

If the plane approaches the screen's edge, it continues its movement from the other side. Here, you can slow down to maneuver better or make a quick dash.


Hi-Way  Arcade

One of the first arcade games that allowed players to sit rather than stand. Here, you take on the role of a racer. Your task is to drive on a winding and narrow road with two-way traffic.

You earn points for each overtaking maneuver, while collisions slow you down without earning points. Deceleration also occurs when you go beyond the road boundaries.


Crossfire  Arcade

This is a two-player shooter. Each player has their weapon positioned on the sides of the screen, movable up and down. In the center of the screen is a ball and several bumpers. 

The goal is to push the ball to the opponent's side. Bumpers interfere and make the ball bounce unpredictably. The winner is the one who scores more goals.


Anti-Aircraft  Arcade

Here, you play the role of an anti-aircraft installation shooting down planes flying overhead. Planes can fly solo or in pairs, and your goal is to shoot down as many as possible within the allotted time.

The game features two cannons at different angles for two players, competing to see who can shoot down more planes. Control is limited to three buttons: up, down, and shoot, with only three angles for firing.


Crash 'N Score  Arcade

In this game, you control a car, aiming to knock down as many numbered flags as possible within a limited time. The required flag starts flashing until you hit it. You score the number of points indicated on the flag. Colliding with a non-flashing flag significantly slows you down.

 Collisions with obstacles can also slow you down or even turn your vehicle. In the two-player mode, cars can collide with each other. Moving beyond the map's edge brings you back on the opposite side.
