The spring-loaded dexterity game The Game of Jaws, by toy company Ideal, is a classic 1970's game/toy that any kid who lived through that era is sure to remember.

The game's concept itself is simple: after filling the large plastic shark's mouth/gullet up with all of the flotsam and jetsam, players take turns trying to hook the junk out of the beast's mouth with a plastic gaff. The trick: don't let Jaws's jaws snap shut on you or you're out. After all the junk has been retrieved, he who possesses the most wins.

A fun game in the nerve-wracking tradition of the similarly classic Operation game. Not for the weak of heart or nerves...
