Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure on Sega Genesis is one of those classic platformers that feels way bigger than it should. You play as Harry Jr., swinging on vines, dodging traps, and uncovering secrets in dense jungles and ancient ruins. The controls are tight, and the levels have this great mix of exploration and action—some pits are straight-up unfair, but that’s part of the charm.

What really stands out is the atmosphere. The music’s got this adventurous vibe, and the sprite work holds up surprisingly well. Just watch out for those rolling boulders—they come out of nowhere. If you’re into old-school platformers with a bit of challenge, this one’s a solid pick.
