Description

Super Pitfall, a classic 1986 video game by Pony Inc. and Activision, invites players to step into the shoes of Pitfall Harry. A loose remake of Pitfall II: Lost Caverns, this game presents a challenging maze to navigate, filled with deadly creatures, hidden keys, and warp zones. The quest becomes more challenging as Harry discovers his sidekick Quickclaw is imprisoned and his niece Rhonda has been turned to stone. With limited ammunition and lives, the journey through the caverns is fraught with peril, requiring strategic gameplay and precise jumping. As one of the first games Activision published for a Nintendo console, Super Pitfall holds a special place in gaming history, despite its mixed reviews.

Game Controls
