| I would tend to agree with much of what Andy has said about this game. It's not much of an advancement over the SNES or Genesis versions.
That being said, I think that, as a game, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure is a fun diversion, regardless of how advanced it is. The graphics are colorful and the animation is very smooth. Sometimes too smooth. The music is very nice with jungle tunes thumping in the background. Unfortunately, the sound effects are too cartoony for my taste.
Gameplay can be somewhat frustrating as you jump higher and higher up certain levels. Guess what happens if you miss a platform? You get to start all over again! This "feature" will kill your fun quicker than seeing your wife with another man.
Overall, it's a fun game, but I wouldn't pay full price. Look for it in the $5-10 range.
