6th Annual Fall Knockout Tournament

 

Round 10 - Championship Round

 

Colecovision vs DuggerVideoGames

 

Game Information

Game Name: Pitfall!

Released by: Original Game: Activision - David Crane 1982. CV: Activision 1983.

Settings: Turn it on & play

CV HSC High Score: 114,000 Northcoastgamer (1/2015 HSC8).

Manual: http://adamarchive.org/archive/Manuals/ColecoVision/Pitfall.pdf

 

Round Ends: Monday January 2nd  at 8pm (PST) 11pm (EST)

 

If both players score 114,000, the time remaining will be the tie breaker. So after collecting the last treasure, pause the game (#2 0n Keypad) and take your pic. Unlike the 2600, after collecting the last treasure, the clock doesn't stop but continues to count down.

 

Good Luck!

Final Score Update

[Northcoastgamer]

And then there were two. All four of the game selections in the Round 10 poll received 1 vote each so I'll break the deadlock by choosing Pitfall! I've also added more days to this round, so scores will be accepted until the evening of January 2nd because of the holidays, so plenty of time gentlemen. Anyone can join in for some Pitfall! action. Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday and Happy New Year as well! Now have at it!

I think this is the first time I ever had a deathless run.  Had a few crappy runs tonight where I missed the vines on my jumps and had game overs around the 11-minute mark, but it was smooth sailing once I had the timing down.  Funny that the gator heads are never a problem for me; it's always the vines that take me a few games to settle down.

Harry will sometimes bounce off a couple of the vines as well. That has aggravated me over the years. The alligators are timing as is most of the game. Getting the 114,000 perfect game on this one is no easy task. In order to do so you must traverse some of the underground.

Those scorpions can burn in hell.  Damn you, Jack Black.  You shouldn't have skipped leg day!

Not my best score, but I have so many other games to play, so little time.

Whoops, forgot to play a just for fun round. Congrats @DuggerVideoGames!

[Northcoastgamer]

Big congratz to Dugger on winning the tourney and a big thanks to everyone that participated in it as well. Starting in February, there will be a monthly featured game to play and there will be a new game every month. So we will have Season 16 starting around March/April and a monthly game as well beginning in February. Our season ending drawing will be coming up very soon, stayed tuned. Happy gaming!
