Things look very different in this NightmarishPitfall! Hack. All of the sprites have been changed to resemble "spooky"themed objects including bouncing Jack-o-lanterns, tombstones and chomping skulls.Even Pitfall Harry gets a horror make-over. you can d/l the game here in case of tie scores: best time left on the on clock determines rankingBonus Points:Explorers club: Score 20,000 or more get 10 bonus points-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Perfect Game: score 114,000 get 20 bonus points (plus the Explorers club points)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------this round ends September 21st Good luck (at the end of the round points will be awarded(10 (for first) to 2(for tenth) 1 for everybody after 10(any scores submitted after this round ends will be given 1 point) any scores for Ultra SScide posted (for those who are not listed)will now count as one point until Sept 7 then no more won't be accepted Next Game is to be chosen by Gorfy as always scores will only be updated on the webpage and AVC Forum(since I have no editing feature here)(you can also post scores on the AVC Forum as well just follow the instructions posted on the harmony games web page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Perfect Game: score 114,000 get 20 bonus points (plus the Explorers club points)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it's impossible to get a perfect score for this game, there's screen's as soon as you enter them thepumpkins are right on you. You can't help but lose points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakogame 箱亀 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I made that hack forever ago using the the source code and a compiler. It should be only graphical changes, though I think I may have altered the jump a little to help the player to be able to jump over the scorpion/skull. Surprised someone's playing it.

Dan Iacovelli Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) you did basically what I did with keystone kapers did a graphical hack of the game though some aspects of have changed like the missile/jet plane is lowered and the cop/laserman hat is higher. I did play your on my harmony cart it's really good hack I have to say Edited September 1, 2013 by Dan Iacovelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) One question, what is that thing supposed to be for Pitfall Harry's head?And one tip - don't touch the cross/tombstone.

Dan Iacovelli Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 my guess it's a jack o lantern . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Slightly off topic, you what might be a cool Pitfall hack?Add some of the objects/items from Private Eye into Pitfall since Private Eye uses the Pitfallbackground for some of the game.The bird, rat, vase, comb, button, falling bricks, flying flowerpots, oil slick.Maybe change the money bags to Henri Le Fiend.

roadrunner Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 This doesn't look like it was a popular pick. Still time to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perfect Game: score 114,000 get 20 bonus points (plus the Explorers club points) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it's impossible to get a perfect score for this game, there's screen's as soon as you enter them the pumpkins are right on you. You can't help but lose points. The pumpkins are wider than the logs and will deduct points when you enter a screen. A perfect Pitfall score is not possible on this hack.

Miss 2600 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Played this once through for a point: 55,569 Yeah, I agree with the previous posts. Smaller jack-o-lanterns would be better so they don't nip at your heels immediately on some screens.
