"Octopus" is a classic Game and Watch title that was released as part of the Wide Screen series on July 16, 1981. The game presents a daring underwater adventure where players control a diver seeking treasure at the bottom of the sea. The primary obstacle is the titular octopus, whose tentacles move unpredictably, creating a challenge for players as they attempt to grab treasure and return it to their boat for points.
As the game progresses, the difficulty increases with the octopus's arms moving faster, adding to the excitement. The game features a simple yet engaging gameplay loop, where players must balance the risk of gathering treasure with the peril of being caught by the octopus.
With its straightforward controls and the classic Game & Watch charm, "Octopus" offers a nostalgic dive into the early days of handheld gaming.
