Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure on SNES is one of those games that looks deceptively simple at first—just a guy running through jungles—until you realize how much weird stuff they packed in. You play as Harry Jr. (yes, the original Pitfall guy’s son), swinging on vines, dodging traps, and chucking boomerangs at bats like some kind of bargain-bin Indiana Jones.

The levels get wild fast—one minute you’re hopping over quicksand, the next you’re bungee jumping into a dark cavern or outrunning boulders in a mine. The controls take a second to click, especially the weird floaty jumps, but once they do, it’s oddly satisfying to nail a perfect boomerang throw or barely clear a spike pit. Just don’t get too comfortable—those Mayans love their instant-death traps.

It’s got that classic 90s difficulty where you’ll die a lot, but the checkpoints are merciful. The jungle music slaps, though. I still hum it sometimes.
