I still have trouble at the crocodiles, so I may not even finish it with the map. 🤣 My timing is way off with the crocodiles. It's either been jumping right in a crocodile's mouth or missing them completely & sinking in the swamp! Stlrs95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco1019 Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 New PB: 113,847. I finally grabbed all 32 treasures! Next up is the perfect score of 114,000. Stlrs95, Justin, RickR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Bloody hell, Harry! Watch out for those crocs! I really didn't mean for that post to be taken as a cheat. I've never been good at this game simply because I didn't really know what I was suppose to be doing. I sort of seen it as a guide to the game. Opps.

My previous post & re-sharing the video from No Swear Gamer would have been flagged, if that were the case. Stlrs95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 No worries at all here fellas. Posting of maps and guides is absolutely ok. We just respect those that choose not to partake is all. Have fun and try not to let the crocs get you. And those oil bogs...what the heck happened there? Pollution in the jungle.

Stlrs95 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) 67,945 - My best so far! I admit, I caved and used the map. 🤣 I'll try and get a few more runs in before the challenge is over. Trying to collect all the treasures. Won't be anywhere near a perfect score though, I even hit some of the stationary logs. 🤬 Edited October 12, 2022 by Stlrs95 Justin, TrekMD, Marco1019 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shame in referring to the map; it turns out you cannot finish the game if you stay above ground for the entire 20 minutes.

greenween Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 What can you say about this game? Classic. One of my earliest Atari memories. I've never really spent any time trying to get through it in 35 years. It's so good. You really felt like you were in there back then. 🙂 Not a good score, but I needed to get in there at least.

Justin Posted October 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I managed to get a game in the other day but I wasn't able to post it. I'm sharing my score now with you, after the deadline, just to show that I participated and played along with you guys. I came in dead last, but I will put an asterisk after my name in the Final Standings and my score won't count. I wish I had more time to play Pitfall, and on real hardware, it would've been fun. I'll be able to participate more in our next Squad Challenge 😀 My High Score was 9,721 RickR and Marco1019 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
