I am being completely honest when I say I would want Jack Black in a Pitfall movie based on the game. Jack Black was in the games commercials, so it would be a nice way to round that off.

A movie of the first game and then a streaming series that dives into the novels and the sequels.

I’m gonna play it again. Thanks for reminding me. It’s been decades since I last beat it so I don’t remember any of the answers to the puzzles. I can go into fresh.
1 monthThe common word “PITFALL” is hundreds of years old. Originates from about the 14th century. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A VIDEO GAME FROM 80S.
But that was about the making of Tetris.
EDIT: Okay, more accurately it was about the distribution of the game and how it became popular.

Nobody saying it, so I will: this poster is fucking lit 🔥
Wasn’t Pitfall set in a jungle? Why does this look like some boreal forest?

…
because pitfall is a normal word and this movie wasnt about the game.
neither was the 2017 , 1962, or 1948 movie
Sorry for assuming people knew what they were talking about when they said this was an adaptation, then 🤷

man was it satisfying to get the treasures in that game. hopping on gators swinging on vines to get a diamond ring.
it was glorious for early 80s.- Krudler@lemmy.worldEnglish1 month
About a week ago I found out why child me could never navigate the game… The underground levels move you three screens at a time where the above ground ones move you one screen.

First : the game you’re thinking about is called “Pitfall!” (exclamation mark). There’s actually another game called just Pitfall. Because it’s a common word and there’s a bunch of completely unrelated works (games, movies and music) using it.

Bonus round : look at all the shit Jonathan Blow adapted when he made “The Witness” in 2016:

no, not the atari game. a random movie that came out last year with the same name. a movie kn 2017, 2962 and 1948 also used this title… because its a word.

this has to be hollywoods longest trend, no? We’ve been having 80s/90s stuff since like the early 00s. I mean hell they just released Mortal Kombat II last weekend. and they’ve been consistently making Transformers movies since 2006.
