4.0 out of 5 stars okay game, but addition of original 2600 Pitfall is great!, November 9, 2001

The main game is pretty good. Good graphics, good sound, and challenging action (including some huge bosses). You can also play the original Atari 2600 version of Pitfall on this cartridge! Sadly the 2600 Pitfall is absent from the Game Boy Advance version. If you want Pitfall : The Mayan Adventures, and if you want one with 2600 Pitfall hidden in the game, then get the Genesis, Super NES, or Atari Jaguar versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice remake of an old classic, December 8, 2000

This review is from: Pitfall The Mayan Adventure (Video Game)

OK, first off, the graphics are a lot better than the Atari 2600 version :).

If you're a fan of platform games, this is worth a look. The graphics are very good for 16-bit and the action is pretty consistent. You control a young Indiana Jones wanna-be who goes dashing through the swamps and jungles in search of lost Mayan treasure. Along the way you need to avoid snakes, crocodiles, and other such nasties. Jump pits, climb ropes, use your whip or your slingshot to fend off your enemies. Pretty fun game.

Being a huge fan of the original Pitfall I wasn't sure how this game would be.
I'll sum it up.
Awesome graphics.
Difficult but rewarding game play.
It has the original Pitfall in the game.
If you're looking for a new Genesis game to add to your collection, then Pitfall is a great addition.
Highly recommended.
