SharkRipper (console)

The SharkRipper is a video game console produced by the Zentonian company Brolik. This is the first console of the SharkRipper brand,

and it rivaled the PlayStation, the Sega Saturn, and the Nintendo 64. It was very similar to the Brolik Warlock, a PC that rivaled the Windows systems from Microsoft.The console had a good library of games, however most game franchises on this console had their new releases on the other consoles.

A CD add-on was made for the SharkRipper in 1998 by Brolik and Terry Co to improve the sound and image quality of the games, and also to make exclusive titles, such as Cyrus in the Forbidden Maze, a platformer, or Zoo Stackers Breakout, a mixture of Zoo Stackers and Atari Breakout. The add-on was called the Terry Co Spinner.

The controller for the console is in the shape of a semi-circle, with a D-pad to control a character, and a few buttons to make the character do certain actions.

The CD add-on for the console could be attached at the top, similar to the Sega CD for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Many of the franchises on the SharkRipper console had their later releases on different consoles, such as Zoo Stackers 2 on the Sega Saturn and Marshmallow Meadows 64 on the Nintendo 64. Brolik still supported the SharkRipper and its successors, but mostly just made games for different consoles until becoming third party and no longer supported the SharkRipper consoles.

Zoo Stackers is a puzzle game where you must select animals and stack them up until you reach the goal. Some animals might tip over the tower you just made, and as of Zoo Stackers 2, obstacles have been set up in the stages which can push animals off. It has been explained when the animals have fallen off-screen, they always land onto a trampoline and later go back in their habitats. Marshmallow Meadows is a platforming game where you play as a Marshmallow who was told the entire Syrup Gardens were being raided by crazy bunnies and weasels that were keen on taking the tasty syrup to get money. The character you control must defeat armies of bunnies and weasels, and avoid obstacles. There are turtles who are the citizens of the town near the Syrup Gardens who give the character helpful tips and can offer power-ups. There are beanstalks at the end of the levels that act as a goal.

A port of one of the Bomberman games was released on the SharkRipper by Hudson Soft.
