That was my favorite game when I had Atari...and it was so simple two or three screens...aaah the good old 2600...life was so simple then...played it for an hour then back to my bicycle....I am so so so grateful to have been so lucky to have had the childhood that was given to me by god....great great parents... I miss them so much....I hope my own children feel the same about me one day...

"Designed by David Crane" Ah, remember the days when Activision were the first "good guys" in video game publishing whose whole purpose for being was to give credit to the formerly unmentioned creators? Good times, good times.

Our next exciting Heroes of the Storm update adds Pitfall Harry as our new specialist! Rest of notes: Specialist role has been removed from the game Sylvanas no longer has a ranged attack Varian has received a slight buff and should be able to one-shot towers

Oh, have times changed. Nowadays Activision is loathed and Electronic Arts is a laughingstock. Even Bethesda has fallen from grace

Now Activision is a Cancer to gaming along with EA. EA used to make great games for the Commodore 64, Atari 400/800 computers. Not to mention Commodore 64-(Seven Cities of Gold).

The only good video gane company is DIY. seriously. if you complainers hate the game industry so much, make your own fucking game. the resources are readily available. oh wait, you are too lazy? then let the big companies make them for you. see the issue? you people are the problem. do something or shut the fuck up.

According to Jack Black, he was never giving his own copy of Pitfall for doing that commercial until GameSpot gave him one on a episode of Button Mashing.
