Story:Twenty-two years after making his groundbreaking debut on the Atari 2600, Activision's Pitfall Harry returns for more jungle-exploring action. The intrepid adventurer is brought to life for more than 50 perilous levels set in such exotic South American locales as rainforests, glaciers, mines, and ancient ruins. As in the original, players must utilize Harry's athletic prowess to swing from vines, run from rolling logs, hop over treacherous pits, avoid snapping crocodiles, and more, while trying to survive the hostile environment. His objectives? To retrieve lost artifacts before they fall into the hands of his rival and to save those in danger. Pitfall Harry will eventually encounter situations that even he can't conquer with a well-timed jump or two, so players can pull items stored in his knapsack to assist him. Like the character's single foray on the original PlayStation, this game is designed to make players smile while exploring the mysterious lands before them. Although Pitfall 3D made use of Bruce Campbell's voice for its comic effect, Pitfall Harry attempts to use its visuals to elicit grins, with the protagonist drawn as a caricature, with a large head balanced atop a slender body. As the story begins, Harry is a member of a treasure-hunting expedition whose plane goes down in the forest. The other survivors are scattered throughout the game; an older, wiser adventurer who was on the plane -- and who becomes incapacitated during the accident -- urges Harry to embark on a quest to save them while battling a rival, eco-unfriendly group of treasure hunters for the relics of the jungle so they can be returned to their rightful owners. He hands Harry the "Hero's Handbook" and Harry's off to adventure. The "Hero's Handbook's" pages are scattered throughout the levels just like the crash survivors are. Find new pages, and Harry will learn new moves.Show more

This game is so unique! The story is very good, graphics as well, the OST is also amazing and the gameplay is also amazing! So what else to say? It's an open world game where you explore the jungle with temples, moutains, caves etc. You gain new powers and items as you progress so you can revisit many areas and unlock new paths! The difficulty is perfectly balanced, the game has a lot of humor, it's a hidden gem everyone should play! The PC version has slightly better graphics compared to console but it's very difficult to get this game to work on PC as of today, I was never abled to. If this game was on GOG it would be life changing and I could share this legendary unknown adventure-platformer as good as a Rayman and superior to a Mario to all my friends! It's also a very fun game to speedrun as you can climb trees and moutains for example and do parkour in the decorations of the game, even out of bounds somehow, stuff still has physics! It doesn't mean the game is glitched in a way where it ruins the gameplay, it means you're free to do parkour and have fun to purposely skip some areas for speedrunning! You won't find any major glitch by playing normally. Gameplay : 10/10 Replay Value : 10/10 Graphics : 8/10 OST : 10/10 Story : 9/10
it is simply peam. One of the iconic games from my childhood and defo deserves to be remembered. BruhBruh2121121 has spoken, this shall be preserved until ever!
I wasn’t expecting much when I first played this game, but it quickly became one of my favorites. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill 6th gen platformer; it manages to pull off a 3D Metroidvania at a time when only Metroid Prime was going for that style. Gameplay is snappy, items are interesting, the writing manages a great balance of stakes and humor, and there are even some fun unlockables. It’s a shame this version of Harry never returned, but I’d love to see him get a new chance on GoG.
One of the first video games I've ever played. It's a fun and engaging story, relatively easy to play, and holds a lot of good memories. Quite a few of my childhood classics are still available, but this one isn't, and it makes me sad I can't share it. Pitfall The Lost Expedition is one of the best, and I would love to see this game preserved forever.
Loved this game, still have the CD R0M though it won't play with my Windows 11 machine. It was fun jumping over the pits and swinging on those vines. My whole family loves this game!
Those games also need your vote!
