Forums - Gaming Discussion - What does Pitfall have to do with Black Ops 2/Nuketown?

Watch the end of the Nuketown trailer, and see the Pitfall Harry 2600 yell.  I am curious what the heck Pitfall has to do with Black Ops 2/Nuketown:

Both are Activision games.

Pitfall was a 1982 game.

BLOPS 2 is a 2012 game.

It's the 30th anniversary of Pitfall and year 1 for BLOPS 2.

 

Pitfall put Activision on the map and BLOPS 2 is a continuation of that success.

So, nothing connected with Pitfall or Atari 2600 games will be making an appearance in Black Ops 2?

I don't know. There could be an easter egg of some kind. It is the 30th anniversary of Pitfall after all. They may have something special planned.

There is supposed to be one actually, from what I heard.  I believe iOS based, unless I am mistaken.

You're thinking of the game that the original creator of Pitfall,  David Crane, is making. It's supposed to be a "jungle adventure" game, but it isn't an official Pitfall game because Activision still has those rights.

He was trying to raise millions of dollars and I am not sure he made it.  



There is a Pitfall game for iOS made by Activision, I'm pretty sure.

That really brings back memories, though. If you don't count Combat, which was bundled with the 2600, then I think Pitfall was my very first home video-game.
