Synopsis

Battle Shark (バトルシャーク) is a first-person shoot 'em up released as an arcade video game by Taito in 1989. The player looks through a submarine periscope to destroy enemies while avoiding torpedoes and missiles. The player starts with a limited amount of torpedoes, which slowly replenishes itself. Power-up targets appear throughout the games, which can increase the supply of torpedoes, repair damage, or add extra firepower. At the end of each stage, the player faces off against a boss character. The Amusement & Music Operators Association (AMOA) nominated Battle Shark for the "Most Inventive" award in 1990. The game was released for Taito Legends in 2005.
