First you were afraid to go back in the water, now you'll be afraid to go back to your keyboard - it's jaws time on the Dragon!

In trying to rescue the survivors of a sinking ship with your helicopter you face not only marauding sharks, but also ships trying to blow you out of the sky.

The game is in two stages, the first being to locate the bedraggled seafarers in an area of sea that is patrolled by hostile ships.

You are provided with x and y coordinates for the survivors and must home in on them. The ships that try to shoot you down are just blobs and continue to appear the longer you take.

When you find them you are shown hovering over five men in the water with a ladder hanging from the chopper. The ladder has to he lowered to the survivors one at a time and they crawl up it extremely slowly. Wouldn't you if you were half-drowned...?

Sharks cruise around below the surface and occasionally launch themselves upwards to grab hold of a survivor and drag him below the waves.

The sharks can he depth charged but you cannot drop these while someone is climbing up the ladder.

The first screen gets harder with more ships appearing on further visits but the rescue mission remains in the same format. The really annoying thing is that you have to use the keys for the first screen and a joystick for the second which is completely illogical.

The game won't hold your attention for long since it lacks variety. It's also disappointing that there are no sounds of crunching bones when a struggling swimmer is munched.
