I think I remember this game being in between Frogger and Frontline when it came out.

Definitely a gem.

Swimmer is from manufacturer Tehkan, who also made the famous Bomb Jack (1984), Star Force (1984), Rygar (1986) and Pleiads (1981). Another popular game was Tehkan World Cup. Also Tecmo Bowl.

16,800 - this is one of the gems MGL has turned up for me, a great game that I would never have played by just looking at the screen shot while browsing games :)

There's plenty of variety in game play. Also you can get a free swimmer if you are lucky at the end of the game.

I'm not sure what I think of this game yet....

 

I think this game is a good one. The crabs and fish are cute, and the mad swimming in dangerous waters is a lot of fun. Getting all the fruit bonuses is very rewarding, but can be very difficult.

The music is so annoying! I gotta quit trying to be so damn greedy.

Yes that tune can be really annoying. But being greedy, has a fine balance when shooting for high scores.
