Mischievous as children will be, Rhonda scampered far ahead into the caverns and quickly slipped from view. Last evening's warnings from the local villagers still echoed through my head like tribal drums. I quickened my pace. And fell. A dizzying blur of tunnels, cave creatures and what seemed like treasures filled the air. Then - the freezing river. My only thoughts as I gasped and struggled - Rhonda, lost, darkness.

We are all pretty worried about Pitfall Harry. We sent him on a mission several weeks ago, and not a word was heard from him — until today. Pitfall Harry is on a treacherous journey to recover the magnificent Raj diamond, stolen a century ago, and believed hidden in an ancient, lost cavern somewhere near an ancient fortress city in the Peruvian Andes. Harry's niece, Rhonda, and Quickclaw, their cowardly cat, accompanied him on his quest.

We now present you with Pitfall Harry's diary — the journal he has been keeping in the Lost Caverns. It arrived this morning by carrier condor. Typical of Harry.

Evidently, Harry has reached the Lost Caverns but has somehow been separated from Niece Rhonda and Quickclaw the Cat.

Help Pitfall Harry find his niece Rhonda, Quickclaw the Cat, and the Raj diamond. The rewards can be great, for the caverns hold many treasures. They also hold many dangers!

Good luck. And watch out for Pitfalls.

To help Pitfall Harry, you'll need: * Tandy® Color Computer with 64K memory * Television (color recommended) * A disk drive * A joystick * A Sound/Speech Cartridge and Multi-Pak Interface (optional)

A CALL FROM CRANE,

A CALL TO DANGER!

... Here I am, Pitfall Harry, plummeting toward the dark thunder of rushing water below... and thinking of the night David Crone called.

"I hope you're well-rested" he had said.

Too rested, I said. I was ready for action.

He asked if i'd heard tales of the legendary lost caverns of Machu Picchu in Peru. Or of a roaring, uncharted underground tributary of the Urubamba River replete with waterfalls and deadly electric eels.

"Yes," I said.

He asked if I knew of the infamous, cursed Raj Diamond. Or of the recent robbery of gold bars from the U.S. Gold Bullion Depository in Fort Knox.

And had I heard of vampire bats? Poisonous frogs? Albino scorpions? The dreaded Andean condor?

"Yes," I said.

And could I still run? Climb? Jump? Could I...swim?

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes."

"Good," said Crane."Then you'll do it?"

"Of course," I said.

If only I had known...
