First, always remember that when referring to the game "Pitfall!," you need to use the exclamation point.
Harry was the main character. It was a scroller, left to right, with about 4 main obstacles:
1. Jumping across stationary alligator heads
2. Running through quicksand pools that appear and disappear
3. Jumping across water using a vine
4. Jumping over a scorpion when running underground
The main goal was to find gold and silver bars.
Beyond that, there wasnt much point to the game. For whatever reason, one of my all-time favorites.
The sister companion to this game was a follow-up called Keystone Cops, which was basically Pitfall! inside a building of cops looking to catch you.
