About Surfer's Paradise
The Surf's Up and you're ready to go. But wait...there's a shark warning. The only thing to do is jump each time the shark makes his move. Not easy when you're riding on top of a wild, pulsating wave. Any mistake and into the water you go. Under the thundering surf you find an old sunken Galleon between you and your surfboard. You only have a few seconds of air to negotiate the distance. The Galleon is protected by fast moving octopus. The walls of the Galleon can change shape and just in case you're not too busy, there's a jellyfish standing guard by your surfboard. Make it back on time and you get another ride on the wild surf. The action gets faster and faster. You test every skill you know plus invent a few new ones, but ride the Wild Surf you will!

A PAL-only Video Gems cartridge with a memorable title and very little else on the record.
Surfer's Paradise: But Danger Below! was released by Video Gems in PAL territories in 1983 and did not come out in North America. Little is documented about the game beyond its publisher and release year.
Cartridge & preservation record
Program size 4 KB, measured from the preserved dump.

Before you buy
Low risk. It is a PAL cartridge, so on an NTSC console and TV expect a rolling picture and odd colors; match it with PAL hardware or a display that handles 50Hz.
