A web version of Pitfall. I used to play this a lot on my cousins’ Intellivision and yep, it’s still as difficult & annoying as I remember it!

I remember there was a contest in one of the video game magazines from the era, where if you got the highest score, they sent you a prize. You had to send in a picture of the score on your television set. Which was a whole ordeal, because you had to get a camera and then get the film developed.

i did this, sent the picture and never heard anything back - I'm still slightly bitter about it

Not 100% faithful to the original, but still pretty cool
