Classic. While primitive by today's standards, Pitfall
was very "high tech" for the early 1980s. As "Pitfall"
Harry, you explored 256 screens of jungle looking for
treasure, while avoiding alligators, snakes, logs, tar
pits, scorpions, etc.
The catch was getting the treasure within twenty minutes;
impossible if you go through all the screens. So you had
to map out the underground caverns, which "warp" Harry
three screens to one. Features solid gameplay, good sound
effects, and crisp graphics.
Pitfall is one of the best games released by Activision,
probably the highest praise one can give a VCS game.
