Pitfall II is the sequel to Pitfall! , the original platform game.
Gameplay has remained pretty much the same, with each screen presenting a side view of obstacles to get past, and potentially treasures to collect.
The landscape is more maze-like, with a variety of paths and dead ends to search.
Along the way, there are checkpoints the player will encounter in the form of red crosses.
When the player dies, Pitfall Harry will be sent back to the most recently crossed checkpoint.
The score is reduced based on the distance traveled to get to the cross.
As he explores Harry can collect gold bars which give him a 5000 points award.
His total score acts as an energy reserve.
If the score is reduced to zero then the game ends and the player must restart from the beginning.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Pitfall II: Lost Caverns for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pitfall II: Lost Caverns to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1984.
