I have an explanation for why he goes ape shit every time he dies. There's a devil and an angel that are waiting for him to die, and as soon as he does, they're start fighting over his body to see whether he'll go to heaven or hell. So I guess that's what purgatory is.
After playing this game, I was so sad to see that there were no true sequel that did Pitfall II justice. So I took it to my own hands and am creating "Cliffall" just type it on the search box to find a brief overview of the game. Cliffall is my way of saying: This is how Pitfall should have continued. It is still a game in development. Many great things will yet come to it. So far it feels great.
It's not that bad... but then again I always play with the volume muted and my own music on. That or hum and make SFX while I play. The game itself... 4/10.
Wow... a clone of Mario with light blue clothes, a hard hat, and a gun? Music that loops after 10 seconds? Poorly drawn waterfalls that just disappear for no reason? What more could you ask for?
From the guys who kinda invented platform games in the early 80s! See Pitfall Mario, er, Harry, updated for the NES, and watch how Activision jumps into the 'Me too' band after the paramount success of Super Mario for the NES!
Remember, kids, the name is...
--I can't believe it's not Super Mario!--
The best way to destroy a successful game franchise!
I can barely play a few seconds at a time at this game. But end up dying every time. 1 hit and that's it (it ryhmes! It looks / appears like I'm a poet and I don't even know it lol!) Probably the worst Nintendo game I've ever played in my entire life. Like the title. It says it all.
The most insane thing about this game is the fact that he has a spaz attack when he gets killed. I remember playing this and being dumbstruck at how that happened. It's like -gets hit- -freaks out- -start over-
He also looks like a Mario reject, well you see, first I must do this. -pulls out a pointy...pointer thing- -slaps Pitfall Harry in the face with it- Note the pudgy face. Next -stabs him in the nuts- Notice the fat belly, where he has a hard time finding his penis :0 Next theres Akutare's statement about him being a mario recolor.

@penguinmaster7 Unless it's a poison dart frog and the part touching them is an open wound, nothing I can think of.

Horrible game. Bad programming, bad sound, bad graphics, bad play control, bad everything. How did this get the "Nintendo Seal of Approval"?

this doesnt have the feel of the original pitfall games at all. it pretty much goes nowhere when its not the true activision product.

Pitfall atari 2600 graphics are better looking than this, 2600's graphics have texture and feeling and look HD 1080i like.

Oh, yeah. If I were the hero in this game and I died, I'd celebrate, too.
