After being caught in a scandal regarding telephone calls targeting retirement communities , Harry decided to disappear for a bit, you can find him in Pitfall 2 …. let's visit the lost caverns.
Welcome back to the brainstorm Emporium Gaming. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns is a platform video game originally released for the Atari 2600 by Activision in 1984.
Pitfall II has 27 horizontal levels.
These levels span eight screens in width but are not openly accessible all the way across;
some portions are blocked by cave walls that force Harry to travel through other areas in order to progress.

Harry has three lives represented by hats in the lower left corner of the screen, actually he remind me of a Belgian friend of mine that lives in Val D'aosta, Italy.
The player needs to collect money bags not only for points but also to extend the timer, which starts at 3 minutes.
When it reaches zero, Harry loses a life.
The game is pretty simple and there is only one action button, the favorite one from Van Halen, jump.
Harry swings on vines over artificial ponds of lava. This takes good timing. If Harry misses the vine guess what?...
Drunken trees, throw poisonous spores and apples.
Crazy fireballs to dodge, shoot from an erupting volcano.
Bats, scorpions, frogs and crocodiles, everything here is out to kill Harry.
You see a hint of vertical scrolling, once you enter the cavern below.
The first pitfall was in god mode play only, kind of boring for those looking for a challenge.
The player can quickly learn the timing on each screen with the possibility of reaching the end of the game.
But now I leave you with the game.
Well Harry, life is safer in the scamming industry. To all of you, thanks for watching the video, and see you soon.
