The new Pitfall is great fun, but it’s not the game you remember

Most of the time I put together an iOS app collection of the week, but on the momentous occasion of classic console game Pitfall’s 30th anniversary (was it really 1982?), I’m going to take a deeper dive into the completely remade game.

Many old-school gamers will remember Pitfall, a must-have on the Atari 2600, in which you would run and jump over obstacles and swing across chasms.

The new version of the game still requires your best hand-eye coordination, but now it is completely 3D and offers a different experience with much more to discover.

If you were ever a classic-console-game fanatic or like escape games like Temple Run, you should check out my review of Pitfall.
