Why? Why? WHY?!!?

Graphics: 4 Sound: 3 Replay Value: 1 Notes: 1- or 2-player game; what a crappy game! Screen Shots

The most mindless game ever made for Intellivision has to be Sharp Shot. Even Kool-Aid Man at least has some goal more than pressing the fire button. What a waste of a game. Visually, it's pleasing. I do like the shaped, brown football. Most of the sprites are swiped from other, good Intellivision games. That doesn't save this game. It's lame. Still, I'll post my lame scores for this lame game, in the 10 minutes I spent playing it just to generate some scores. Best Scores: Football Passing: 70; Space Gunner: 60; Submarine: 31; Maze Shoot: 29

A total of three Sharp Shot box variants have been documented.

	Mattel Electronics	5638-0910-G1	1982	U.S.A.	Trayless pocket; no part number on top; © Mattel, Inc. Hawthorne, CA on bottom; was there a previous version of the box?
	Mattel Electronics	5638-0510	1982	Hong Kong	French-Canadian; plastic tray; no part number on top; © Mattel Canada Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada on back; (NOTE: still shrink-wrapped, so this info may not be completely accurate)
	Intellivision Inc.	5638	1982	Singapore	Standard Intellivision, Inc. box

A total of four Sharp Shot manual variants have been documented.

Image	Vendor	Part Number	Year	Origin	Description
	Mattel Electronics	5638-0920	1982	U.S.A.
	Mattel Electronics	5638-0720	1982	Hong Kong	French-Canadian; (it's still shrink-wrapped to the outside of a box, so possibly it's French only?)
Image not available.	Mattel Electronics	PC-5638-0920	1982	U.S.A.	PlayCable version; I can't believe they actually put this one on PlayCable!
	Intellivision Inc.	5638-0920-G1	None	U.S.A.	Accordian-style folding; have not yet located Mattel revision with the same part number for this manual

The first difference between the two revisions (not pictured) is that the 'Object of the Games' page was moved from the back of the manual to the front in rev. G1.

Secondly, the screen shot for the Football Passing game was revised. Looks like the QB in the first printing had some trouble reading which players were receivers and which were cover folks.

The third change I've noticed is that some graphics were missing on the Submarine shoot game.

A total of two Sharp Shot overlay variants have been documented.
