In the game Pitfall Harry the fearless treasure hunter returns. In Pitfall Harry's adventures, players encounter various enemies like scorpions, spiders, piranhas, and insects. Numerous abilities are at the player's disposal, such as a quick dash move and various combat maneuvers. Along with his sling and TNT there are various other weapons like the shield, and also various items to use as transportation like the raft.
