Video Game Vintage Title: Name This Game

Name This Game

Name This Game, also known as Octopus in Europe, is a video game for the Atari 2600 manufactured by US Games.

In the game, the player controls a diver who must protect a treasure from an octopus at the top of the screen that tries to capture the treasure with its tentacles. A shark also tries to distract the diver by swimming back and forth toward the bottom of the screen.

The diver loses a life if he is captured by the shark or the octopus's tentacles, or if the air meter runs out. The diver can refill his air meter by touching a long pole which extends from a boat that appears from time to time.
