Red Hat Adventurer ( Pitfall! Hack)

Red Hat Adventurer (NTSC)

 

The archeologist whose name is ?, he is best known to all as the adventurer in the red hat, intrepid hunter of relics, legends have been told in his name. Entering inhospitable forests around the world, he will once again go in search of treasures considered myths by humanity, the red hat wants to prove that not all myths and mysteries of humanity are a hoax and some can be very real.
This hack is yet another homage to the never-before-released prototype game for electronic consumption, In Search Golden Skull, by Mattel.
I tried to be as faithful as possible to the only available image of the prototype game, we will have the presence of bushes, the mountain lion and the bird that resembles a vulture or a black swan. Of course, the main treasure, the golden skull, could not be missing.

Cool!  What are the creatures in the water replacing the crocodiles?   I think this one would benefit from changing the background playfield to match parts of the house I think though I don't know personally yet how to do that.

I wouldn't say creatures, but a kind of ancient machine, a trap made by the ancient builders. I was based on the only photo of the prototype game to compose this machine, I saw that reddish door of the mansion and I thought of something that could be used, it was something totally random.
I appreciate the suggestion and I'm already making cosmetic changes to the setting to resemble an abandoned mansion with its various traps to catch the unprepared who dare to invade it after its riches. As it is a total change of scenery, I think of naming it as a continuation.

 

Edit

I believe this is the most that can be done where the Pitfall scenario resembles a house with a roof, walls and windows.

I like the changes and they accomplish the goal of making it look more urban than jungle.
