Many younger gamers’ first exposure to Pitfall! came from the console title Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which featured a Pitfall! minigame. But Pitfall! started its life way back in 1982 on the Atari 2600. The product of a single Activision developer, David Crane, it sold over 4 million copies and skyrocketed Activision to stardom. Now developer Krome and publisher Microsoft Game Studios bring the ‘Fall! To Windows Phone as both an Xbox Live and Game Room title. Is it better suited to mobile play than cranky ol’ Asteroids Deluxe? Yes!
Pitfall! stars the adventurer Pitfall Harry. His sprite was comprised of four separate colors on a platform in which most sprites were made of only one or two colors. Harry’s surplus of colors produced such a realistic effect at the time that many people thought an actual human being had somehow become trapped in their game cartridge. Thanks to modern computer technology we now know that this was not the case, but Harry still retains a certain visual charm after all these years.

Rumble in the jungle
Pitfall Harry’s task is to search for 32 treasures in a massive jungle made up of 255 unique screens. The jungle wraps around itself, meaning that if you exit screen one from the left you’ll end up at screen 255, and heading right from 255 takes you back to one. Many pits and ladders lead to the ever-present underground, which offers lots of shortcut opportunities. Traveling one screen underground skips 3 screens above ground. Since the whole game is timed, you’ll have to head down several times in order to grab the most possible treasure.
