Based on the Pitfall! series that debuted on the Atari 2600, Super Pitfall finds intrepid explorer Harry on a perilous quest to retrieve the legendary Raj Diamond, his kidnapped niece, and his captured lion friend from deep within the Andes. Like Pitfall II, the non-linear action involves progressing through a subterranean cave filled with tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, bats, frogs, and other creatures. To help neutralize his foes, a pith helmet-wearing Harry now carries a pistol. He'll climb, swim, jump, and shoot his way through more than 270 screens, all while avoiding dangers such as falling rocks, lava pits, waterfalls, and spikes. Collect gold bars, extra lives, ammunition, rings, and other helpful items throughout your journey. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
