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.
