AAA177 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I've noticed in some gameplay videos of Pitfall! that the tendency is to go right instead of left. I always thought left was the recommended method of playing this game (wasn't that in the manual in the tips section?). That's how I usually do it. Never got too far in this game (I'm not a great gamer, to be honest) but should I go right? Edited November 9, 2017 by AAA177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If you die, you respawn on the left side. The logs all go right to left. Going left is an easier game, but I imagine you can get all treasures in either direction - with careful planning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Most enemies that move (logs, scorpions, etc) spawn on the right side of the screen, so going left will almost guarantee you get hit. I always went right, but that was me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) I always went right as well. Edited November 10, 2017 by SignGuy81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H454 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Weren't you supposed to go right and use the underground areas in some parts to beat it with in a certain time? Like going under ground shaved time off. I'm trying to remember watching something with the guy that made Pitfall! and he something about it - could be wrong tho.

DanthWader Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This is the walk through map I used to beat it several years back, go right until you get to the underground area then go left Ricky Bobby. http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/strategy_pitfall_map.html?SystemID=2600 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA177 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks for all the replies, this is helpful. The link to the map is great (was that published by Activision back in the 1980s?). I'll have to redouble my efforts on the game, especially once I get the Flashback Activision edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
