Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!
Bimmy thought he had escaped, but no! I captured him during his escape and put him in a cage! I hid him in this patch of amazon forest, full of poisonous frogs, spiders, snakes, scorpions and other deadly critters!
Legend says it is also full of hidden treasures, but I hope this won't inspire any Indiana Jones wannabes that look like Mario to adventure through it and save him.
Surely that won't happen. My villanious plan of villany is flawless!

This week's game is going to be Super Pitfall, a platformer whose brilliance and quality most fail to see.  
Here are the rules:
  • Play till game over
  • Take your picture at the start screen. Your score will be on 1 UP and on Top scores
  • If you beat the game, consider taking a picture before leaving the Dark World Area
  • Highest score wins
  • Participation score: 50,000
  • Genre: Action/Platformer

The contest ends Sunday, 9/23/18 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun.

"REPROGRAMED BY PONY, INC."

WTF does that even mean? This is a Micronics product all the way.

Pony, Inc. later became Pony Canyon of Zanac fame. I think they were involved in the Famicom version. There was also a Japan only computer port.

I know them for Lunar Pool which we played in the contests a couple years ago.

Over here they published as FCI. So all the Ultima Games, Hydlide, Dr. Chaos are Pony Canyon.

They're still around, sometimes labeled as Ponycan. They're a big record and anime label over there.

Christ, I'll get killed just because Pitfall Harry is stuck in the crouch position and I can't stand up in time to get away from an enemy. Thanks for the shitty controls, Micronics.

It is such a great and fun platformer game.

What a shit game. Ladders don't work. You can walk through walls. It's one stinky old pile of shit.

The exploration aspect is kind of cool. It could have been great had they put in some more effort. It feels like a beta version. But then it is a Micronics release... same developers who did Ikari Warriors.

It's no Montezuma's Revenge but I enjoy it and should put up a pretty good score!

I wonder if anyone will put up a "perfect" score with all the treasures collected.
Perfect between quotes because you can grind points by killing critters with your gun. But the guns don't respawn with each death, so you can run out of bullets in this game.
