Octopus (Game & Watch)
Octopus is a Game & Watch game where the player must get as many gold as it can. However, he or she must watch out for the Octopus near the treasure. If he or she hit it's tentacles, the player loses a life. losing all lifes, means it's a Game Over. It also appears in Game and Watch Gallery, and Game & Watch Gallery 4
Classic Version
Three scuba-divers head for a treasure under the sea, guarded by the Octopus. The divers must be patient, because the Octopus's tentacles are moving randomly. If one scuba-diver gets caught by one tentacle, there are 2 left (when it was the second, there is one left). when it's the last one, it's Game Over. The diver can get more gold by grabbing more, and getting one piece of gold, getting 1 point. Bringing them to the boat, and getting extra points. Game B of Octopus let move the tentacles like crazy.
