Marketing would not allow the two versions to be different so the new level was relegated to an easter egg.
#PITFALL ATARI CODE#
Programmer Mike Lorenzen reused David Crane's code from the 2600 version and added an entirely new level to the game, which would be playable after the initial game was finished. The Atari 5200 and Atari 8-bit computer versions, called the Adventurer's Edition on their title screens, contain additional content. If Harry ascends using the balloon, Sobre las Olas ("Over the Waves") is played.Īdventurer's Edition second level (Atari 8-bit) When Harry returns to a continue point, a slower, minor key version of the theme plays. When Harry collects a treasure, the main theme begins again. The main theme plays for a short while before reaching a loop of acoustic music. Musical cues act as subtle rewards and punishments for performance. Optional items can be collected for points. Upon collecting Rhonda, Quickclaw, and a diamond ring, the game ends. Both characters were created for the Saturday Supercade cartoon based on Pitfall! a year before this game was released. Two characters debut in Lost Caverns: Quickclaw, Harry's cowardly pet mountain lion, and Rhonda, his adventure-seeking niece. Quicksand and tar pits are replaced by rivers and chasms. Some portions are blocked by cave walls that force Harry to travel through other areas in order to progress. These levels span eight screens in width, but are not openly accessible all the way across.
Pitfall II has 27 horizontal levels stacked atop the other. The cross on the ground is a continue point. The game's plot was loosely remade into Super Pitfall for the Famicom/NES. It was ported to the SG-1000 console in Japan. In 1985, Sega released an arcade remake of Pitfall II with a new visual style and gameplay that combines elements from both Pitfall I and II. Pitfall II was ported to the Atari 5200, ColecoVision, TRS-80 Color Computer, Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, MSX, Commodore 64, and the IBM PCjr (as a cartridge). The cartridge contains a custom "Display Processor Chip," designed by Crane, for improved visuals and four channel music instead of the two the system is normally capable of. Published after the video game crash of 1983 when interest in the 2600 was waning, Pitfall II was one of the last major releases for the console and one of the most technically impressive. Pitfall II 's major additions are a much larger world with vertical scrolling, swimmable rivers with deadly eels, music, and balloons for floating between locations. Both games were designed and programmed by David Crane and star jungle explorer Pitfall Harry. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns is a platform video game originally released for the Atari 2600 by Activision in 1984.
