StormSurge Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 Out today for consoles & PC! While I'm happy to be able to play this, I'm kind of bummed that I'm playing it on the XBO before I ever had a chance to play the original.
Rowsdower70 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 I hear the one for NES is quite sought after! Interesting to see it for PC. "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
Arenafoot Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 I hear the one for NES is quite sought after! Interesting to see it for PC. Picked it up during the 2013 Houston ArcadeExpo......for like $10 or so. Fun game!

LeeJ07 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Wasn't this game made by LucasArts? "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
nosweargamer Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Wasn't this game made by LucasArts? I believe the original was made by David Crane (Pitfall!) for Absolute who was started by former Activision which was started by former Atari guys....

StormSurge Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Posted January 20, 2016 Garry Kitchen also worked on it.
Atari Adventure Square Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Like lots of old PC titles, I remember having played this more than I remember the gameplay itself. It was lots of fun. The fun-feels remain. Not surprised the talented Activision crew worked on this.
