About The Game
Swimmer is an arcade video game.
Trivia
One of the first game created by the dynamic duo Nishizawa/Ishizuka, who later became the core of Westone (aka the developers of the "Wonder Boy/Monster World" saga).
The main enemies in the first three racks -- Turtles, Crabs and Waterbugs -- would show up in Mario Brothers in the next year.
