lhfreak Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Back in the day I was always kinda disappointed about the lack of (what I thought) quicksand in the game. I assume those black pits is what they were talking about, but quicksand should be some hidden thing in the jungle....So instead what if the color was changed from black to the exact color of the surface Harry is running on? It would certainly shake things up while playing.....You know its there, but not exactly when its open or closed... Would that be an easy hack?

Rev Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 There has to be a way for you to see when it open or closes,otherwise you should have unlimited lives or save points like pitfall 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Yeah, you would have to be able to detect them somehow or the game would be unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 What if the pits were only slightly differently colored so that you can see them, but it ain't easy? I always thought if you fell into the pit, you should land in the tunnel below with the scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone with talent should do a remake of pitfall.how hard could it be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranthulfr Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 How about quicksand that is invisible but you slow down when you walk onto it..? Then you have to keep moving, because if you pause you sink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep moving the joystick like in Decathlon, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 or pressing jump as in most games with sinking floors. Either way would be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Or somebody could whack you in the head with a 2x4 before you sit down to play. That'll make the quicksand harder to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamingguy Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The 2x4 is a great idea! Just think of all the hospital visits that would come after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I always thought if you fell into the pit, you should land in the tunnel below with the scorpion. To hack that would be very simple (Thomas' disassembly shows you where to look...just remove the branch to the kill routine when falling). Unfortunately, it also means that the player could become trapped underground...since not all underground passages lead someplace (i.e. stuck behind brick walls on linked screens).

Video Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I think moding it do do something else when you hit the pit (slowdown or whatever) could be done. Actually, if anybody ever makes a Pitfall III, that might be a cool addon to the game....I much prefer 2 to 1, but I was still a little bummed that they didn't have pits. Whatever happened to Ed Pit 3? Tha'ts what caused me to find this board way back when, and as near as I can tell, it never happened....
