The Atari Times
A guy named Pitfall. Deadly pits that open and close (for some reason unbeknown to science) at will. "Cobra rattlers". Logs that continuously roll for no reason at all. Fires that somehow stay lit when no one's around, and crocodiles that let you jump onto their heads. If you think about the above elements for a minute -- and being taken out of context -- you might realize how ridiculous it all sounds, not to mention how unlikely it could (somehow) be combined into not only a good video game, but one of the most highly revered classics of video game history as well.

The Video Game Critic
But despite these minor quibbles, Pitfall remains a classic for all time, and is a must-have for any serious video game collector.

Kingdom of Desire
Pitfall ist eine Legende der Videospiele aus deren goldener Zeit Anfang der 80er. Natürlich wirkt das Spiel in jeder Hinsicht absolut veraltet, sei es die Grafik, der Sound oder das Gameplay. Aber zur damaligen Zeit war es gerade zu eine Revolution und ist eben so wie Space Invaders oder Pac-Man ein absolutes Pflichtspiel für jeden Fan von Videospielen.

Neste jogo, você deve encontrar o caminho em um labirinto para achar um tesouro perdido.
