What did I think of the Pitfall franchise?

Nothing.
You're too young to think anything about it.

>>9031942

It morphed and changed identity so much it barely feels like the same concise character. In every game you're playing as a farther descendant of the original Atari2600 Harry.

Super Pitfall NES looks like it was clearly inspired by atlantis no nazo and those msx montezuma's revenge clones

OH NOOOOoOoOoO
Lost Expedition looks a bit like a N64/Xbox Rareware game. Reminds me of Kameo.

The SNES/Sega game has elastic rubberband animation like Earthworm Jim/Aladdin.
The Ps1 plays like Crash Bandicoot with fixed camera angles that swaps between sidescroller 2D and isometric 3D. Seems like the series never had much identity and just copied what was popular.

>>9032130
in fact there were plans to bring over Atlantis no Nazo as Super Pitfall 2

[Anonymous No.9032154]

>>9032153
Intresting.
Every game starts with a first level homage to the original with quicksand pits, spike logs, alligators and a vine swinging over it.

Nothing. You weren't even alive when most of the games in the franchise were new.

First Pitfall game is all I played and it was trash but that's all we had on Atari.

[Anonymous No.9032471]

>>9032135
I had a demo of this I played quite a bit. The game probably sucks, but I should try the full thing.

the /v/ meme op is probably what it is, but i have a soft spot for 'what did i think about it' posts because its so funny

Lots of little kiddo larpers, too.

Tourist here. I had (have?) The Mayan Adventures on my Mega Drive and I remember loving it.

I had this game on my Wii as a kid, I liked it quite a bit. It’s pretty much structured like a Zelda game, but it’s very competent. I probably wouldn’t be as into it today though, just because single player narratives aren’t what I’m into these days

I'm a huge Mayan Adventure enjoyer, the PC and 32X versions have extra levels.

How was any non-autist able to figure out how to beat this fucking game? infuriating.

>I'm too old
So that's why you're asking us what you thought about it?
We weren't in the room, grandpa....

not really, and you are a bad poster who could improve the board by saying less

[Anonymous No.9036570]

It was the best game for Atari 2600.

>Didn't even get the free Combat or Air-Sea Battle cartridge that came with each 2600 console.

I didn't know they made any more after this one. The original was really fun, at least.
