Pitfall 2 with "no touch" mod

It is a bootable game loader, where one of the games is Pitfall 2 modified so that if the player's character is touched by one of the animals it won't reset the player's position to a prior checkpoint, but the animal graphics make look a bit weird if there is a touch. This doesn't include the rat near the start that pushes the character off a ledge into the water, it only prevents the reset to last checkpoint position.

My 600XL stayed on for a week once when I reached the second part of Pitfall II as a kid

 

Difficulty was exponentially harder for that part of the game! And could never get far.

Same here with my 130XE. It was one of my first games and had to load it from tape, which took ages. Once loaded it'd keep it running for several weeks.

The "no touch" mod gets rid of the timing aspect, the jumps are still tricky, and it wasn't clear than the character jumps farther if you keep pressing left or right during a jump, and there are a few tricky jump sections.
