Pitfall II: The Lost Caverns

Pitfall II: The Lost Caverns is the sequel to Pitfall and was released in the mid-1980s for a number of systems, including the SG-1000 in 1985. It was also ported by Sega to the Sega System 1 arcade hardware. The gameplay is similar to the original game, but the levels are more maze-like. Sega's version of Pitfall II was heavily modified compared to the western versions released for the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, etc. The gameplay is largely the same, but there are many new features. These include a live system, mine carts, balloons and a final demon boss. Thanks to the improved specifications of the System 1 hardware, the arcade version is much more detailed and allows the player to see more of the maze at once. The SG-1000 version is directly inspired by the arcade game and although it doesn't have the same graphical quality, it is arguably the most beautiful home version of the game.
