Condition:

Acceptable

Cartridge only. Mild wear from use - the top label is missing as shown. See pics for condition details. Could not test this one as Tigervision carts don't fit the 7800 without modification and I don't currently have a working 2600 - but I did swab the pins so it should work.

About this product

Product Information

One of numerous Pac-Man clones for the Atari 2600, Jawbreaker was actually one of the more inventive attempts to one-up Atari's own miserable adaptation of the famous arcade game. Fast-moving, unpredictable, colorful, and fun, it's yet another entry in a bizarre sub-genre that seemed to appear only on the Atari VCS: dental scare games (also see Tooth Protectors and Plaque Attack).

In Jawbreaker, players guide a pair of chomping teeth around a maze consisting of several rows, while eating dots and avoiding a gang of hard candy smiley faces that will shatter the teeth. At first, it appears that the hard candies only travel in one direction, but within a few minutes they'll begin to reverse direction to trap the teeth, necessitating a quick escape through escape hatches which slide along the maze walls. Periodically, a large white square will appear at the center of the maze. This will briefly make the hard candies soft-centered, and the teeth can eat them -- but this window of opportunity closes quickly, and any candies that were munched during that time will reappear when it's over. Players advance to the next level by clearing the maze of dots -- oh, and they get their teeth brushed too.

Jawbreaker Rules
Pac Man can get really boring. It was part of a trend that is long gone. When the dust clears, there is still Jawbreaker, a far more exciting concept with much more fast paced maneuvering. Good luck getting a descent copy for under 20 bucks. One of the coolest looking cartridges on the shelf, I see Jawbreaker just getting more and more valuable as time goes on. I'm just glad I got mine though, suckas.

Much more than a Pac-Man clone. Try it, buy it. []
At first, it looks like just another Pac-Man clone, but it's really a lot more. The mazes are constantly changing, and there's a lot more strategy involved in using the gaps between lines. Very fast-paced and addictive. []
