Salvage Diver

You run a salvage boat with three divers, each making one dive over the wreck of the S.S. Marie. A diver swims in along the surface, then you steer him down past six sharks to the treasure mark on the sea bed. Touch the mark to bring up a find: anything from a rock or an old tire to a jade throne. Get back to the surface with at least one find and the diver banks his money and retires. Touch a shark, or run out of air, and the diver is lost with his finds. The air runs down steadily, the sharks grow faster the longer a dive lasts, and a shark can push the treasure mark somewhere else. After three dives the money recovered is totalled, less $12,495 in funeral expenses for each diver lost.

Controls: The stick swims the diver in any direction between the surface and the sea bed. On the title, up and down choose and a button starts. Either controller works.
