Classic Game Room HD reviews PITFALL for Atari 5200, PITFALL!! on Atari 5200 is very similar to Pitfall for Atari 2600 except with marginally better graphics and identical gameplay (and the use of the awful Atari 5200 controllers of course). Guide Pitfall Harry to fame and fortune as you jump over alligators, pits, swamp things, snakes and fires!! Swing, jump and dodge obstacles like logs to collect as many bars of gold and other riches in the time allotted to Pitfall Harry. Atari 5200 collectors may enjoy this take on Activisions classic Pitfall!, but others should just stick with the Atari 2600 version which is cheaper, easier to play with better controllers and pretty much identical.

 

So RAD it hurts!
