Sega Genesis - Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
March 9, 2008 - 2:25 pm - Posted by Sean R.
Today I decided to go roaming around local thrift stores to see if I could find any good Sega Genesis games and just before I was leaving the last place, I found this 1994 Activision boxed gem:
Yep, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, complete in the box, with instructions, all for the low price of $1.99 USD.
The game label is mint and the game fired up right away without any cleaning needed to the game connector. I’ve got the box to thank for that I’m sure.
I never played this game when it originally came out for the Genesis, however I did love playing it on my Atari 2600 back in the day which brings me to the next part of my post.
Hidden within the game is the entire original Atari 2600 version of Pitfall! Sweet! The instructions I thought would tell me how to unlock it and/or find it but no… denied. Bastards 
Thanks to the internet and some searching, I found out how to get to the Atari 2600 version.
From the Title Screen, you enter the following code: Down, A(x26) down and magically Atari 2600 Pitfall in all its glory appears on the screen.
The only bummer is once you die (stupid scorpions), the game resets back to the main Pitfall game. I wish it added it to the menu or something like that, but I guess pressing A 26 times isn’t so bad.
