Got I hated that game when you got stuck in the pit.

First game I remember throwing the controler at. Fauking POS!!!!!
 
Yep, I think I played it for all of 10 mins. Looking back it's hard to see why we were excited about ANY 2600 game.

Although Pitfall was great.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was an awsome game... needed both controllers. I loved my Atart 2600. :)
 
Doesn't the legend go that Atari had to bury the excess copies of that game in the Nevada desert, coz sales were that poor?!
 
Wow, those are some awesome graphics. I can't believe I payed money to play this game :lol

I had this game and tried for years to beat it.


The one thing I remember most about this game was the commercials for it.

yep, one of the worst games ever...i too always got stuck in that damn pit and could'nt figure out what to do.
 
I blame that game for years of low self esteem! I was REALLY young, like 5 or 6 and I thought there was something wrong with me why I couldn't get out of the #@!king manhole!!! Then my older brother tried it and after like 2 minutes put down the joystick and said "for once it's not you, kid".
