Bakerman Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Pitfall 3! Come on Crane! I'd like to see them do some 7800 stuff too!

Rowsdower70 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Pitfall 3 would be amazing! I'd love to see something to make me forget the various platformers in the 16bit era that slapped the Pitfall name on the cart!

I'd love to see something to make me forget the various platformers in the 16bit era that slapped the Pitfall name on the cart! Well, honestly, I have to say I really enjoyed Pitfall!: The Mayan Adventure on the Jaguar, it was a slightly upgraded 16-bit port, or at least developed at the same time. I'm not sure if that's what you are referring too, and I never played any other version, maybe it was a bit better. If there were others, I don't know of them.
