Everything about Jawbreaker Video Game totally explained

Jawbreaker is a video game programmed by John Harris and released in 1981 for the Atari 400/800 by On-line Systems. It is essentially a Pac-Man clone, in that a small yellow set of jaws is moved around the map to pick up small dots while avoiding the "jawbreakers" which roll around the map. If the jaws bite the jawbreaker that'll be destroyed and the player will lose a life. It was released for the Atari 2800 and later the Apple IIE.

Ports

John Harris also released developed and released ports of the game for the Atari 2600 under Tigervision (1982), and the Apple II (1981) under On-Line Systems. A port to the Commodore 64 was released in 1983, but coded by Doug Whittaker.

Legacy

A follow up entitled Jawbreaker II was released in 1983 on the Atari 400/800, Apple II, and Texas Instruments TI99/4A. These ports were not coded by John Harris, and were instead contracted to Dan Drew.
