What he didnt tell me was the game he gave me sucked dick and that he was moving awaFOREVER and i never saw him or this game again! Ty Emulation i can beat it now! Im 48 btw and have waited 4 a long time!

Me lembro de reunir os amigos em casa, todos na faixa dos 8, 10 anos, e jogar por horas e horas.... em determinado momento já não sabíamos mais o que fazer no jogo, pois já havíamos coletado todos os itens e explorado todos os cantos possíveis, e eis que um amigo ao final de um dos corredores salta para desviar daquele pássaro vermelho... a tela escurece e o personagem reaparece na fase do "submundo"... pulamos, gritamos e comemoramos muito, porque sabíamos que a jogatina não ia parar. Me arrepiei ao ouvir a trilha sonora do jogo, voltei ao passado e me lembrei de cada detalhe daquela época... eita tempo bom!!!!!! É muita nostalgia!!!!

I used to play It so much and nowadays I have the impression this game wouldn't never end! 🤔

38:11 - What's with the Sesame Street music here? "Super Pitfall was brought to you by the letters F and U", which is what many kids said while playing this, I bet.

I remember for the first time while walking on the street, going into a shop and seeing this game´s box!!!! I was like: OH WOW!!! I can´t believe it!!! my favorite game has been made for the NES... When you first look at it, you are sold for the box art itself! Little did I know what an awesome transformation this game had undergone XD - I bet Capcom would have done a better job IF they used the same engine they used for Mega Man...

Had this game as a kid and hated it... Imagine playing this in the 80´s, early 90´s, no internet... JUst a confusing and cryptic game, no clear objective, never knew where to go, ended up always stuck somewhere... Cringeworthy.

Super Pitfall is anything but super, and it's an embarrassingly poor introduction of the Activision name to the NES platform. But then again, they didn't even see fit to put David Crane's name in the credits. Seems as if Hideo Kojima wasn't alone in his fate, after all... :(

Normally, I try to avoid labelling other people's works as "trash" or any kind of adjective, because I think that even for a simple game, much work is needed. But there are cases in wich is hard to give a positive comment on. Super Pitfall is one of these cases... and I have a LONG story of frustration with this game, cause it came packaged with my NES clone. For the longplay, however, I give full compliments - not only because you played it masterfully, but also you had the patience to play it entirely.

Thanks! I feel you there, I try to find something positive in every gave I play, but sometimes they just make it impossible. And on those rare occasions, generally the work was bad in how it willingly took advantage of people with cheaply made games designed solely for profit with no regard to quality. Of course every commercial game is made for profit, but thankfully most also have some pride and effort put into them - it's rare you find an excellent but totally soulless game. It's fairly common, though, to find a game that is badly flawed but still is in some way special and worth playing.

I could never beat this game. Not even close. I couldn't even figure out what I was supposed to do. At some point after months and months, I got so fed up with this game that I went to the garage and smashed it with my Dad's sledgehammer.

I can't believe this game was even possible to complete, super frustrating game but cool video

I played the 30th anniversary hack and boy, IS IT BETTER! The items are no longer hidden, there are actual doors that lead to other caves rather than having to touch a specific enemy (the condors), unlimited ammo, better game design (almost all ladders that lead to spikes now lead to safe ground, especially the first one), a hud that keeps track of your items, an auto save feature, better graphics (there are even some gravures of the original Pitfall Harry's sprite in the caves), new and better music (the overworld theme beimg almost like the original Pitfall II's one), some fixed bugs, and the option to choose between playing the game in english or in portuguese while patching the game. I know the last one is a minor feature, but I'm portuguese (from Portugal, not Brazil), and I find this awesome, even if it's brazilian portuguese, but it's hardly noticeable. There are still some glitches and, at times, it may seem as broken as the original, but it's enjoyable enough for me to like it and complete it. It's worth giving it a shot, in my opinion.

Holy wow, do I hate this goddamn game. Like, a WHOLE lot. I actually worked my little ass off one summer so I could buy this, because I friggin' LOVED the first two games. This one would be great, right? The EXACT same shit as games like E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Confusing in ways I didn't think were possible, and without the instructions, you can pretty much just eat it. Watching the AVGN tear this one to shreds was very cathartic for me. Fortunately, I ended up trading it off for, I think, Pinball on the NES, which was infinitely better.

I don't believe so, but I can see some inspiration there as well. It was originally a freeware game made in 2008 and remastered in 20...14? There is a sequel coming out this year. Spelunky HD is a rogue-like platformer with a few secrets. It's definitely one of my favorites. It's on steam and PS4 I believe. The enemies and crazy map in Super Pitfall kinda remind me of some of the craziness that is Spelunky.

AVGN sent me.

I finished this game when I was a kid but I did not know it had that many secrets.

Whenever Pitfall Harry gets hit by enemies, it grants him points when it shouldn't be happening.
