	Hexadigital 20 Apr 2023 18:30 This is the first graphical fishing game! And it looks really good for an Atari 2600 game, even setting aside that it was one of the first games for the console.
	Dogmeatman 26 Apr 2023 10:50 Thanks for the set, that shark can be a real pain!
	Aros2k 31 Aug 2023 10:43 Wow thanks for the trivia Hexadigital! For the first ever fishing game this is really impressive. It's very good fun and reminded me strongly of those kids playsets with the magnet on a string and little cardboard fish to fish up. Thanks for the set.
