The article lists 1982 as released date, while the DonkeyKong page lists 1981, yet the Pitfall page claims Pitfall was the first jump'n run. Could anybody clear up who was first? -- Grumbel 11:32, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Same Game?

I have heard of the GameCube game Pitfall: The Lost Expedition. It was released in 2003, like Pitfall Harry as described in the article. Are these two titles the same game?

I added this to the article. Amazon has it for sale on PC format, I don't knowa bout GameCube.

[edit] Appearance in other media

Pitfall shows up in Homestarrunner and South Park, among other places, and its iconic status should be noted. Elijahmeeks 00:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infocard?

Should this have an infocard?

[edit] Best selling game?

In the article it is said that pitfall is the best selling game ever made for the Atari 2600. However, in the article about Atari 2600, Pac-Man is listed as the top-selling game... Can anyone clear this up?

I noticed this, too. According to the Pac-Man article, it sold 7 million. This would be easier to clear up if the articles were properly sourced. Ace of Sevens 02:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definite ending

About Pitfall II the article says "Also, unlike most games of its day, it had a definite ending.", which apparently implies Pitfall! didn't have one. As a matter of fact, Pitfall! did have a definite ending: you had to collect all the treasure in the jungle within the time limit.
