I'm in That's great you don't have to play them all Just had my first few goes 1,834 5,821 8,999 Went right and got the first gold bar. on last go went left and got the first two treasures... not too exciting but will be ok for this short round. Pitfall II is superb but does take a long time to play. Pull down to drop off the swinging ropes There will be another catch-up round along with "Q", the poll will start towards the end of next week so suggestions welcome on the Play List Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi folks. I usually play in the 2600 and 7800 HSC's. Decided to give this one a try, but I've always sucked at Pitfall. Anyways....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Welcome Gorfy Good to see you have a set of paddles (if the cat will share them) feel free to browse the Atari sites and add a Q game suggestion to the games list thread So I went right and after the initial dearth of trasuere there was suddenly lots to collect... 59,456, 5:06 left when I decided to see just how deep that hole was Is there any reason to go under ground? Aparently YES! see this: Found some wiki pitfall! info (2600 ver) as atarimania doesn't have much! Edited September 27, 2014 by therealbountybob Pitfall!

+therealbountybob Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 27500 what a boring game I guess it was a milestone on his programming development - the wiki is an interesting read. David Crane created a lot of great games; pitfall II is superb but I could never get far on the 2nd part of the game. Anyone here played Pitfall II and completed the first part or got far on the 2nd part? The party of the first part...

Every great programmer will have a stinker or 2. I like Super Pitfall for the NES even though it sucks.

Gorfy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 David Crane also wrote Slot Machine for the A2600 one of the worst A2600 games ever. Every great programmer will have a stinker or 2. I'd have to say his #2 stinker was Laser Blast, which I purchased when I was a kid. Very repetitious and boring. On the other hand, he also made Kaboom!, a personal favorite.

adam242 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I am terrible at jumping the scorpions! After losing my first two lives to those bastards in rapid succession, I said screw it, I'm staying above ground. Made it to 68,730 before running out of time with my last life. NTSC this round.
