Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure is one of those SNES platformers that nails the jungle explorer vibe. You play as Harry Jr. swinging on vines, dodging traps, and uncovering ancient ruins—classic Indiana Jones-style action but with that 16-bit charm. The controls feel tight, though some of the jumps require annoyingly precise timing (I died way too many times to those spike pits).

What really stands out is the atmosphere—lush backgrounds, tribal drums in the soundtrack, and those little details like crumbling platforms and hidden caves. Just don’t expect a walk in the park; some sections will test your patience. Still, it’s a solid pick if you’re into retro platformers with a bit of bite.
