The weight of the pieces keeps the mouth open. Using a gaff hook, each player then attempts to remove a junk piece from the shark's opened mouth. The first player to successfully remove four junk pieces wins. However, if a player takes a wrong move, the shark's mouth will snap shut. If only two players are playing, the final player to successfully remove five junk pieces wins Very sort after game this never had one, but remember it and fetching good prices on flee bay. Another Jaws toy from 1976 had one on these always in the bath with me when i was young, again fetching silly money.

evo1 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Pocketeers (TOMY) 1975 In 1975, Palitoy released the original set of "Eight great Pocketeers" in the UK, under licence from TOMY. Each one was an ingenious mechanical pocket game and came in a green packet featuring a unique cartoon name and character design. Palitoy/TOMY went on to release 38 more Pocketeers. And here's my 2 the cup final 1 is pretty hard and hurts your thumb.

It was just one of the things I had to endure to keep up appearances Things weren't as easy back then as they are today. God knows how they coped earlier when it was still illegal ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
