Unlike every other Atari game, this one doesn't get bullshitty impossible difficulty wise after a few screens which I almost want to praise, but I feel it ends up going in the exact opposite direction and becomes really mind-numbing and boring for how easy it is. Finding out how to stand on the alligators heads was the peak of the experience.

Pitfall is the video game precursor to Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed... any kind of adventure game involving traps, falls and hostile architecture, I think.

It's also not as good as any of the above titles and honestly is now kind of a novelty.
