The year is 1987. Beverly Hills Cop II<\/em> is the highest-grossing movie. “Walk Like an Egyptian” is the hottest song. The Iran-Contra scandal dominates American political headlines, while Konami’s Contra<\/em> sucks up coins in arcades. But towering above them all is the watershed moment of Jaws<\/em> arriving on the NES. (“This time there’s no escape!”, warned the box art.) Now, 38 years later, the 8-bit game is returning as a Limited Run Games physical re-release.<\/p>\n

The retro release coincides with the Spielberg movie’s 50th anniversary. From December 19 to January 18, you can pre-order a physical copy for Switch and PS5.<\/p>\n

It will be available in two physical editions: a standard (“Retro Edition”) one for $35, and a deluxe (“The Bigger Boat Edition”) one for $100. The latter adds an NES-inspired box, a physical CD of the game soundtrack, a keychain and — best of all — a pixelated shark lamp. Both versions include original and “enhanced” versions of the 1987 game.<\/p>\n
