So we've savaged the Atari 2600's poor old things like wolves in a den of blind lambs, but Pitfall still holds its own. Along with Donkey Kong, this is practically the blueprint of the modern platform genre, and by association, the action adventure game.
Look at Uncharted - it's pure Pitfall. Only withguns, girls, fighting, blood, planes and... No! Stop looking! Uncharted's visual bombasticness only makes it harder to remember the good times. The more innocent times. So long ago...
