Let's be honest here: the only reason people are interested in Pitfall is because it reminds them of when they were young. The 2600 "classic" was a crap game then, and it is a crap game now. Screen after screen of alligators, rope swings, logs and tedium. What the hell was the object of the game anyway? I just remember feeling like I was walking round in circles the whole time.

There are plenty of other 2600 games I would prefer to see updated, but to be honest it is all just nostalgia. Most of the games from that era deserve to be consigned to the dustbins of videogame history ('cept maybe Enduro - gotta love night-driving in the fog).

C'mon man. Pitfall was a quality game for the Atari 2600. Swinging on vines, jumping on alligator heads, and collecting blocks of gold was extremely fun. Much better than Enduro in my opinion. I did like driving through fog but prefer jumping over scorpions. You're entitled to your opinion though.
