| | Pitfall! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The game is considered by many to be the first platform game ever made, and is considered one of the best selling games ever made for the Atari 2600, with over 4 million copies sold. | | | The player must maneuver a character known as Pitfall Harry Veditz through a maze-like jungle in an attempt to recover 32 treasures in a 20 minute period. | | | The game made its debut on The Super NES system in 1995, with the popular Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. |

| | In the Pitfall round, the player had 100 seconds to cross an eight section bridge. | | | This drop took 10 seconds of the player's time, and the player had to answer a second question to get by. | | | Four choices were given, and the player who chose the correct answer scored a point. |

| | Each game is many games in one, with many difficulties to overcome. | | | So, to minimize the number of rolling logs to be jumped and the catastrophic hazards to be re-tried, simply run to the left. | | | To capture all 32 treasures in under twenty minutes, Harry will have to use some of the underground passages. |

| | The main game was a simple survey game, similar to that of Family Feud and Card Sharks. | | | The player then chose their Pitpasses (which were earned in the main game), which would mean they would be "safe" from Pitfall's from wherever they chose them. | | | When an answered correctly, the clock would stop, while the player was brought back up from the Pitfall. |

| | Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review for Xbox - Gaming Age |
| | It's hard to explain, because it sounds like a feature found in most platforms, but Pitfall: The Lost Expedition accomplishes it in such a seamless fashion that it truly seems "natural." Even though the game is divided into linear stages, the players don't really use the map as a guide of where to go next. | | | Instead, it's based on the player discovering new paths in each level and using their new abilities to uncover even more. | | | Next-generation updates of old school classics never go out of style in the video game industry, making the return of Activision's Pitfall franchise more of an inevitability than anything else. |

| | AtariAge - Atari 2600 - Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (Activision) |
| | Activision held a contest at the time where if you were able to surpass 99,000 points in the game, you could take a picture of the screen with your score and send it in to Activision to get a cool Cliffhangers patch. | | | Also, instead of having a set number of lives (common with games of this era), you are sent back to the last red cross you touched if an enemy "kills" you. | | | If you are looking for an excellent platformer game on the Atari 2600, you'll want to add Pitfall II to your collection. |

| | Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review for GameCube on GamePro.com |
| | Standard Pitfall stuff like vine-swinging and platform-style jumping are all handled with the usual flair and precision that enable you to nail difficult acrobatics to reach any spot you can see...and some you can't see. | | | Traditional foes like ferociously fast crocodiles and monkeys tossing fruit (at least it looks like fruit!) add a steady challenge, but the game has just enough boss battles to keep things lively. |

| | Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review - GameCube |
| | You know and love (or at least remember) the original Pitfall as a game where you ran, jumped over things, and tried your best not to get hit by anything. | | | In Pitfall, you could easily spend a night getting through most if not all of the game. | | | It is a good buy, and retails for that wonderful new standard price point of $39.99 (I remember when all brand-new games retailed for no less than $50; some even reached $60!). |

| | The graphics were no more sophisticated than the original Pitfall, but the huge amount of space to be covered and puzzles to be solved went beyond most people's expectations of the platform the game was being played on. | | | The sheer scope of this game was phenomenal, far beyond what you would expect from any Atari 2600 game. | | | As famed treasure-hunter Pitfall Harry, you're delving deep into the Lost Caverns, which are loaded with Incan treasures beyond compare - or so they say. |

| | Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (GCN) Review at GameSpy.com |
| | This wakes you up with a start, forces you to learn the single fighting button tout suite, and then the next five minutes after the battle is spent explaining just how you reached this point. | | | Avoid all manner of gaming pitfalls with Activision's latest 3D action / platformer romp. | | | This game does 90 percent of everything right, and 10 percent of it very, very wrong (more about that later), but as Pitfall fans were settling on even an average platforming romp, the fact they'll instead be playing the best platformer since Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy makes the past anguish all the more rewarding. |

| | DVD Times - Pitfall |
| | If anything were to go against Pitfall then it would be its relatively uneven use of the son. | | | Pitfall (Otoshiana) is Teshigahara's social critique on the state of the poor man working in a post-war era that questions several meanings in life and sports several characters who each represent a part of the very society that Teshigahara documents. | | | The film would appear to follow the boy's journey as much as his father's, seeing much through his eyes as events unfold but where some areas are clear others are slightly more obscured. |
