You've seen commercials for this one every day on the tube, and they've pretty much summed up what Pitfall is all about. "Hapless" Harry The Hero explores the Amazon in search of lost treasure and stands to get nipped in his booty unless he's quick on his feet.
What's he looking for? A diamond ring, bars of gold and silver, and your standard lost-in-the-Amazon bag o' money, for starters. Every time Harry nabs one of these goodies, points roll up and you’re on your way to Big Fun in Buenos Aires.
Only problem, though, is The Jungle. As Harry goes for the gusto he encounters cobras, scorpions, tar pits, quicksand, fires and crocodiles—all of which kill him real good, sir, yes they do. But it's OK! Harry’s got three lives!
