Pitfall 2 on PC (with new caverns)?

[+Propane13]

Look what I found:

Popularity:

In 2003, a remake of Pitfall II for the PC by WolRon took a placing in the Retro Remakes competition. The game also won praise in Retro Gamer magazine as "Remake of the Month". The remake is faithful to the original in almost every respect, except for the replacement of the Activision logo on the bottom of the screen with WolRons own logo and the addition of more caverns to explore if the game is successfully completed.

 

I just found it here: http://www.geocities.com/wolronweb/Pitfall.html

Anyone tried it? Is it any good? What about the "new" caverns?

I wonder if that is just a disguised emulator with a rom built in... (maybe not, looks like has the source code, in basic, on that site...)
