Pitfall's biggest crime is that's just kinda boring. Not in the sense that there's nothing to do. It's in the sense that you have to do the same stuff over and over again. Levels feel like constant repeats to the point where it can be quite tiresome. That being said, the gameplay can be fun sometimes.

As if said by a late 2000's YouTube AVGN clone, this game sure as hell made me lose my marbles.

I typically prefer to play the arcade versions of games like this over the Atari 2600, but I made an exception this one time.
The arcade version has a very weird control scheme where you use two joysticks, one for each arm. This may be fine in practice, but on the emulator I used, it was extremely annoying.
The Atari port, on the other hand, moves everything to just one joystick, making it much easier to play. Besides that, it's a decent game that is fun for like 5-minute sessions.

Ah shit. Here comes Pac-man.
It a decent game. Admittedly, the replay value is a little lacking, since its the same level over and over and the difficulty spikes pretty quickly.

Bold of Konami to make a Highway 401 simulator

I need to find a new fishing area. I'm 99% certain Joey trained that shark,

The changes as the game goes on are a nice touch, and I like the ricochet mechanic, but other than that it's kinda meh.

Level 1 reels you in thinking you're for some jolly good horse racing. But then the AI gets faster. And faster. By Level 6, the AI rarely, if ever, makes a single mistake. If you trip even once, they're gone and you might as well reset.

Cool concept and impressive for the time, but just not that fun to play.

Fans of the 'Lemonade Stand Simulator' genre would love to play the classic that started it all.
Too bad I'm not one of them. It got boring after the second day.

An absolute killer on your hands, but still a decent sports game.
Pioneer of the Text Adventure genre, but really confusing.

Some of these characters have weird-ass names

EVERYBODY IS KUNG FU FIGHTING! THOSE KICKS WERE FAST AS LIGHTNING!
