DESCRIPTION

Intrepid explorer Pitfall Harry, who made his first expedition in 1981 on the Atari VCS, swings onto Game Boy Advance in a side-scrolling platform title inspired by Edge of Reality's console versions of the game. While on a routine treasure-hunting mission with fellow archeologists and explorers, Harry finds himself in trouble when the group's plane crash-lands in an unfamiliar forest. Separated from his party, Harry begins a quest to find his scattered friends, which means traversing through the many dangers hidden within the forest as well as overcoming potential obstacles in his path. As players will soon discover, Harry is not alone in the forest. A group of unscrupulous fortune hunters is on the loose and must not be allowed to continue pilfering ancient relics. To assist him in his journey, Harry can learn new moves and techniques by finding lost pages of the Hero's Handbook. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
