Another big one...What Atari 2600 owner didn't have this game? Not many, if at all. I would think when I was young that it was the adventures of Jungle Boy against the evil forces of Jungle Girl to conquer the jungle and collect treasure along the way ("College football?" is what I would yell when he collects tresure since the fanfare since it sounded like the baseball "Charge!" theme, but I wasn't aware that it wasn't really a theme for football). I'm not really sure if this game is supposed to be spelled with the exclaimation or not; It's the same deal with Hero being abbreviated, but I suppose since many sources list them as "Pitfall!" and "H.E.R.O" these may be more accurate...

In Pitfall, you must guide Pitfall ("Jungle Boy") Harry through the jungle as he traverses through many dangers while trying to collect the treasures. There's a time limit, so you can only go through the jungle for 20 minutes at most. To think that you could see the end...

I got log-drilled quite a bit. I also had a couple of walk-ins, which I tend to do a lot, actually. Jumping on the snake was also something I haven't done for quite sometime...
