The Pit is a 1982 action/strategy video game developed by AW Electronics, published by Centuri in the United States, Taito in Japan, and Zilec/Zenitone in the UK. The objective of The Pit is to descend into an underground labyrinth, retrieve a gem, and escape. A game similar to The Pit programmed by Chris Gray inspired Peter Liepa to create Boulder Dash

Dig Dug but worse. Hideous visuals filled with nonsense. The enemies are are basically non-factors, and if they do somehow remember to get close to you, you can just shoot them. There's also a tank shooting at a mountain at the top of the screen... The best thing this game accomplished was to inspire the creation of Boulder Dash.
