Overall:
This is (overall) one of the best Atari 2600 games. Pitfall, though, was also released for many other systems, but today we're focusing on the Atari 2600 version of the game.
Graphics:
The graphics are another special thing in this game. The snakes and the fire have great animation. There aren't many better graphics for the Atari 2600, because these graphics were just plain great!
Sound:
The game's sound deserves a 10, only because it wasn't as repetitive as it's sequel's music. Hearing this game's music is happy and joyful. I got the biggest kick out of the Tarzan music that plays when you grab onto the rope.
Addictiveness:
As I said before with Pitfall II, I will be playing this game later on, but not on Vizzed. Hopefully I will be getting Activision Anthology soon. On that, I will try to beat it, avoiding the one pain in that game: The crocodiles. As I get better at that, I will start playing other games on the cartridge.
Depth:
This game has 32 moneybags, scattered around in different screens with similar elements (eg. Tar-pits, barrels, ropes, lakes). Watching a video, I heard that there are 255 scenes. Wow. This game is almost as big as Super Mario Brothers, which is a great achievement for a system less advanced than the other one I mentioned (NES).
Difficulty:
As I said before, the only thing that really holds me back in this game is the crocodiles. They are really hard to overcome, even if I do know how to get past them.
Wrap up:
To finish my review, let me just say that this is my favorite 2600 games, and this is my favorite version of Pitfall. Until my next review, bye.
