Episode 574: Pitfall! (The David Crane Years) (Patreon)

Jeremy: Greetings from myself and Stuart and Kevin and Pitfall Harry. Or is that "Pitfall! Harry"? I'm never sure how to parse these things. But I am positive that I will never be able to record a podcast episode that entirely covers the intended roster of content we lay out in advance. This one should have been easy! There are only, what, like half a dozen Pitfall! games? And yet, here we are. This episode only covers Pitfall! and its first sequel, Pitfall II: Lost Caverns. And a sort of spiritual kindred game. That's not even half of the series. Yes, there's nothing for it but to record a follow-up episode....

But that's OK. Pitfall! was kind of a big deal. It deserves the spotlight.

Speaking of spotlight: Cover art by Amanda Neipris, and edits by Greg Leahy. See what I did there?

Anyway, Pitfall. Or, rather, Pitfall!
