(LOT 382)
Pitfall! - WATA 9.4 A Sealed, Atari 2600, Activision 1982 USA

PITFALL! (Pitfall Harry's Jungle Adventure) chronicles the adventures of Pitfall Harry as he gathers gems and treasures while avoiding crocodiles, tar pits, scorpions, snakes and more. The horizontal scrolling game includes 255 screens where players are given 20 minutes to complete each mission and is credited as one of the first side-scrolling games. Likely capitalizing on the frenzy surrounding the 1981 release of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pitfall was one of the best-selling games ever introduced for the Atari 2600 platform. Across all editions and platforms, it sold more than 5-million copies. This is the fourth highest selling game in Atari 2600 history. Issued in 1982 by Activision, the offered example has been encased as and box-graded 9.4 by WATA with an "A" seal rating. Encapsulated by WATA, this first game of several games featuring Pitfall Harry holds a Third-party V-Overlap seam on the dark green package version and is a POP 5 with only eight superiors.
