Description
About This Game
Super Pitfall (スーパーピットフォール, Sūpā Pittofōru) is a 1986 video game for the Famicom and PC-8801 by Pony Inc under the Activision's license. It was released for the Famicom as platformer with scrolling in September 1986. Two months later, the PC8801 version was released with switching screens. The game was released in the US in November 1987 by Activision for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
It was the first game ever that Activision published for a console made by Nintendo and it was based upon Activision's earlier Pitfall! series for the Atari 2600. This game was also ported to the TRS-80 Color Computer 3. A sequel titled Super Pitfall II was planned, but then was cancelled a short time later. It was going to be the localized version of Sunsoft's Famicom title, Atlantis no Nazo.
