Paul Westphal Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I know someone that can contact him. Just so you know, he told me he did not do any 8 bit 2600 conversions, or at least pitfall...Someone else did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 but he was one of the programmers who worked on the 400/800 OS alongside Al Miller and Larry Kaplan, etc. and I'm...pretty sure that he did the APX release of Outlaw/Howitzer. -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Try contacting AA user "lushgirl_80" : http://atariage.com/forums/user/22489-lushgirl-80/ She has been speaking of interviewing David Crane lately,in these status updates: Great news,legendary programmer David Crane wrote me back today and confirmed he will be appearing on my radio podcast!! The episode will air on the 4th. What questions y'all got for David??? Sep 25 2015 4:07 PM and Thinking up some more questions for David Crane(creator of Pitfall!) tonight. He's also going to appear alongside the percussionist of the Beastie Boys on my next show! So guess I'm gonna play some Kaboom! and then listen to Paul's Boutique.

Franco Catrin Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I know someone that can contact him. Just so you know, he told me he did not do any 8 bit 2600 conversions, or at least pitfall...Someone else did. But Pitfall wasn't a 8-bit 2600 conversion, it's a 2600 original which was later converted to the Arcade (by others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkindig Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 No luck so far with David. A few people have said they could help, but no contact as yet. There doesn't seem to be any direct way (that I can find) to contact him. Thanks to anyone who is trying. If it happens I'll post on here for questions that the group might want to ask.

José Pereira Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I wanna ask him, or maybe someone here can help, that in case there is an interest for doing a Pitfall III or a remake of the old two: "Who's today owns the rights to Pitfall?" Perhaps it was already posted here or is at some place on the web... Edited October 9, 2015 by José Pereira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I guess Activision has the rights.... check out his speak on youtube regarding making Pitfall to people from the games industries... nice funny things... I guess it was GDC 2014... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
