Favorite Games - A Year by Year Review (120 games items)

"This game is a true classic of Atari, though I'm not sure it could hold the interest of the newer generations. It has had a few sequels, and I'm not sure how popular they were. I found this game enjoyable, if frustrating at times. I always seemed to fall down the pits at the worst times. Still, it is one of the classics of the system. "

"Atari 2600 - 1982 "The working title was Jungle Runner, and it came dangerously close to going to market with that name. The second choice was Zulu Gold. Without Cheech and Chong as spokespeople, I don't think that name would have worked." --David Crane, creator of Pitfall!"
