The sequence leaves Atari {hardware} behind
I first skilled the majesty of video video games on the Atari 2600 and one of many video games I keep in mind most from that period is Pitfall!—not shouting, by the way in which, the unique title consists of the exclamation mark. Whereas most different video games on the console both tailored present arcade hits or supplied arcade-like experiences, Pitfall! dropped gamers right into a (comparatively) massive house and stated “hey child, have a look round.”
I am going to cease romanticizing the online game Pitfall! as a result of Jeremy Parish, Kevin Bunch, and Stuart Gipp already talked about it and its direct sequel in a Patreon-exclusive episode final month. This week’s episode covers later video games within the sequence, one which stretches properly past the confines of the VCS. Higher {hardware} did not essentially result in higher video games although!
Description: Jeremy Parish, Stuart Gipp, and Kevin Bunch dig within the underbrush to seek out the video games within the Pitfall! sequence that its authentic creator had no involvement with. From the notorious Tremendous Pitfall to the cartoon-like Pitfall: The Misplaced Expedition, it is all right here.
