Was Pitfall the one where you would go through screens from left to right and jump over quicksand and find stuff, and get bit by a snake? If so, I loved that game.
Another cool one, Joust. Oh and the Frogger Seinfeld episode was one of the greatest. |

Another great, underrated game. Did anyone play Jumpman? I played it on a Commodore machine in the mid 80's. Awesome game.

Now who can show their age by admitting they played the original Castle Wolfenstein? Good times. Quote:
Anyone ever play Below the Root?

You can download an emulator which will play arcade games. Then you can Google and find ROMs which are files created from downloading the code directly from the arcade game chips. They play, look and sound EXACTLY like they did in the arcade. I've got 100s of them. Great stuff! |

I'm not that old, but I remember watching my aunt play the original Castle Wolfenstein back in the day. I was probably 7 or 8. Dang hard game from what I understood. Loved the implementation of sauerkraut. |

Harry was the main character. It was a scroller, left to right, with about 4 main obstacles: 1. Jumping across stationary alligator heads 2. Running through quicksand pools that appear and disappear 3. Jumping across water using a vine 4. Jumping over a scorpion when running underground The main goal was to find gold and silver bars. Beyond that, there wasnt much point to the game. For whatever reason, one of my all-time favorites. The sister companion to this game was a follow-up called Keystone Cops, which was basically Pitfall! inside a building of cops looking to catch you.
