| 1 | !!The Video Game |
| 2 | * FridgeLogic: Who lit those campfires in the original game? |
| 3 | * HilariousInHindsight: The end of the Mayan Adventure, where Pitfall Harry Sr appears in Atari graphics. He's not the only [[VideoGame/SilentHill1 missing father named Harry]] [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 to make an ending cameo with retro graphics]]. |
| 4 | ** Jack Black (who starred in a commercial for the game) would later have his own [[Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle jungle adventure]]. |
| 5 | * SugarWiki/GeniusProgramming: It can't be understated just how much of a technical marvel both the Atari 2600 games are. While [[OnceOriginalNowCommon mundane nowadays,]] the fact that the original had a full background, multiple procedurally generated screens, ''and'' a fully animated character sprite was seriously impressive; which its sequel would push even further by adding stuff like animated water and interactive music; the latter of which most ''2600'' games were lucky to have ''at all'', let alone one that reflects how the player is doing. All this on a system that was largely designed to just play ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' and pong-like games. |
| 6 | * NightmareFuel: The 1994 platformer ''Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure'' is filled to the brim with this trope. From the nasty jaguars and the life status that shows a crocodile slowly approaching to eat you up to the fact that killed animals become skulls, it will haunt you for years. And that's before you fight against a Mayan stone god as the final boss... |
| 7 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JackBlack's first acting job at age 13 was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA4V-n8Ft3g a commercial]] for ''Pitfall!''. |
