Octopus - Widescreen

Octopus (1981, OC22) is was the second release of the widescreen series.

Gameplay
 In the game, you, the diver, must get around an octopus whom is trying to capture you and get to the treasure (gems) on the right of the screen. When at the treasure, the driver can fill his bag up. More greed equals more danger. When Mr. Game & Watch returns to the salvage ship, he gets three extra points. The player's three chances are measured by extra divers on the savage ship. When one is attack by the Octopus' tentacles, another takes his place. The tentacles speed up, but slow down again every 100 points. At 200 and 500 points, any lost lives are replaced.


Trivia
The octopus in this game actually only has 7 legs! 

Rarity
Like Parachute, about 1.2 million were manufactured, so they are not that rare. Ebay often has several for sale at any one time.

Boxed with instructions: £60-£80
