E-Online offers Sink the Titanic game online

James Cameron's Titanic became the most successful film of all time after its release in 1997, so when it came Oscar time the folks at E-Online wanted to give web site visitors a way to take the director, and his cast, down a knotch. They launched an online game on their web site that casts the user as Amistad director Steven Spielberg.

When you start the game, Titanic actors and Cameron himself march back and forth along the deck. You are Steven Spielberg standing by with a cannon. The point -- to knock the Titanic cast and crew right off the ship. But beware! If you hit an Amistad actor by mistake, you lose! If you successfully rid the ship of its cast and crew, the ship sinks as director Cameron salutes from the stern.

A great white shark's dorsal fin then breaks the surface and chases Cameron off-screen to the theme of "Jaws," an earlier Spielberg film. If you want to give ole Stevie a chance at revenge, you can still play this game at http://www.eonline.com/Features/Awards/Oscars98/Titanic.
