About Genre Platformer, Adventure Rating Rated 'T' Summary Activision was formed from a team of ex-Atari game designers and programmers, and it was Pitfall that made a household name out of David Crane. David Crane arguably created the first videogame platform hero out of Pitfall Harry, and in this non-scrolling platformer players worked their way through the jungle. Extremely dated by today's standards sure, but back then it was a big deal. You just have to give props to the hero that brought personality to the world of flashing blocks and lines.
Pitfall is one of my favorite arcade games from the 1980's. I spent countless hours playing this game in the arcade while growing up in the 80s. I hope you enjoy playing this free version online.
