Scott Stilphen Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 An easy hack is to eliminate the underground walls. This opens up some usable passages. Here's a wall-less version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Isn't the PAL version or european version of pitfall different? I remember reading that somewhere. I don't think it's possible to finish the NTSC version in 93 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Stilphen Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 There is a prototype version that exists, which has branches in the trees (i.e. more detail). Anyone have the ROM for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I think that description came from an old Ebay auction did it not? I think the seller was confusing the 2600 version with the 8-bit version whihc has some extra tree graphics. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Sometimes 3 underground scenes is 1 above ground scene so you will waste time using the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Yeah...the program itself won't allow that (see routine on previous page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does exist (I've seen it), but the owner is reluctant to share it at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Is that the one with the different starting locations and you only get one life? I know I've seen that version somewhere. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
