Intellivision HSC Season 19 - Game 5 - Pitfall


Recommended Posts

I've never really played the Intellivision version of this game, aside from checking to see if the cartridge worked after I bought it.  I have to admit, this is a great version of Pitfall!

My final Pitfall entry for this go around. Some improvement. The game has a great concept, but with a few tweaks it could've been sooooooooo much better IMHO... 🥺

 

EDIT: Once again I lost two guys quickly, but managed to finish the game..... 👍

Here’s my sad story about Pitfall. Or maybe it’s more of a Tropical Trouble story. I “traded” my copy of Tropical Trouble with a “friend” for Pitfall. I thought it was understood to be a temporary arrangement. Tropical Trouble was my most recent game at the time and I loved it. I definitely enjoyed Pitfall and it got quite a bit of play. I asked my friend if he liked Tropical Trouble, he said he didn’t care for it.  I couldn’t believe it! I thought it was an awesome game. I finally asked for my Tropical Trouble back. I don’t remember what he said but he never gave it back. I kept Pitfall and continued to play it.

 

Finally I picked up a loose cart of Tropical Trouble at a thrift shop. I still had my box, manual and overlays from childhood. I still like Tropical Trouble but it hasn't got nearly the amount playtime as Pitfall over the years.

Had a chance to take one last crack at it, and I managed to improve a bit:  89,727

 

That's probably it for me.  I am amazed by the people who are able to finish the whole game....

You know what it is... They know each and every screen where you can go for it and make it and then the screens where you can't do that. In other words, the great players know the difference on every screen and that difference gives them the extra time needed to finish....

I was cursing this game last night with a score around 20,000 but tonight I was going strong. I had only lost one man and had had about 3 minutes left on the clock with 67,000 (I think) points when my Intellivision died. I'll try to get back on later, hopefully it doesn't happen again.

This time for Pitfall I didn't purposely go into one underground tunnel. I say purposely because once I accidentally fell down a hole and lost 100 pts. :( 

I just went left as fast as I could in both games I played. I DID NOT JUMP OVER ONE SINGLE SCORPION!!!! 😛 

 

This has me wondering, if this game was 20+ minutes long could you pick up all the loot by just going left? Hmmmm, I guess we'll never know.... 🤷‍♂️
