Thunder Jaws is a run and gun game originally released for the arcade by Atari Games in Template:Vgy. Home ports by Domark were published in Template:Vgy.[2]
Gameplay
The platforming game has two types of gameplay throughout each stage. The first is an underwater zone, where the player dives and swims through the level and looks for an exit to reach the other type of gameplay; the base zone, where the player walks and jumps across platforms (similar to Rolling Thunder) until an important destination is reached.
The player is armed with a standard speargun to eliminate enemies but can acquire better weapons with limited ammo either found on the ground or randomly from an enemy killed. Enemies consist of divers, mutants and robots. At the end of various levels, the player is faced with a boss, defeated by repeatedly shooting its weak points.
Plot
A secret agent is on a mission to stop the mad mutation experiments of deranged Madame Q, but is required to venture through he aquatic laboratories and bases to find and eliminate her.
