SUNNYVALE -- Jungle drums pound and pulses race with the release of Atari
Corporation's Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. The jungle adventure game is the result
of Atari Corporation's licensing agreement with Activision and is now available in
stores nationwide.
Based on the original Pitfall! that debuted on the Atari 2600, Pitfall: The Mayan
Adventure takes gamers on a wild trek through the recesses of the Mayan jungle.
Players assume the role of Pitfall Harry Jr. searching for his kidnapped father.
With pages from an old journal as their only guide, gamers need lightning-quick
reflexes and a discerning eye to make it through the jungle to rescue Pitfall
Harry.
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure features ten challenging levels and enhanced gameplay
not found in any other version. In addition to the challenges of the fierce jungle,
there are seven letters hidden throughout the terrain; spell out pitfall and be
treated to a special secret ending. The game also boasts an all-new Save Game
feature that lets players return to their quest where they last left off.
"Our alliance with Activision has resulted in an enhanced version of Pitfall: The
Mayan Adventure specifically designed for the Atari Jaguar," said Ted Hoff, Atari
Corporation's President of North American Operations. Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
features incredible art and graphics - more than 2000 frames of Kroyer film
animation has been reworked to take advantage of the Jaguar's outstanding 64-bit
capabilities."
The Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure release under the agreement with Activision is
just one of the many exciting games for the Atari Jaguar 64 library. The rapidly
expanding library will also include CD titles for the recently launched Jaguar CD
peripheral which is available in stores across the United States.
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure is rated T (appropriate for teenagers and older) and
has a suggested retail price of $59.99.
For over 20 years, Atari Corporation has provided consumers with high-quality,
value-priced entertainment. Atari Corporation markets Jaguar, the only
American-made, advanced 64-bit entertainment system and is located in Sunnyvale,
California.
