Parachute (Game & Watch): Difference between revisions

'''''Parachute''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game released as a part of the Wide Screen series on June 19, 1981.<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/parachute.htm ''Parachute'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref> It was the first game in the Wide Screen series. The goal of the game is to catch parachutists before they land in shark-infested waters. The game is featured in the [[Museum|Gallery Corner]] in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''. It later appeared in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', and ''[[Game & Watch Collection|Game & Watch Collection 2]]''. In ''Game & Watch Collection 2'', there is also a game that combines this game with ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]''.

The player controls a rowboat and has to catch smaller people parachuting out of a helicopter. Every parachutist the player catches is worth a [[point]]. As the player progresses in the game, more parachutists will appear, and they will eventually fall faster. If the player does not catch one, a shark lurking below will catch the person, and the player will get a miss. At 200 and 500 points, any misses the player has will be removed. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, some parachutists get stuck in a tree.
