Activision's 2600 landmark reborn on the last console Atari ever made — the library bookends a whole company by accident.

Pitfall Harry's son runs through a hand-drawn Central American jungle, directed by actual film-animation director Bill Kroyer (Tron, FernGully) — which explains why the animation is a step above the genre norm. Good-looking, slightly floaty, and nearly a year late relative to the Genesis/SNES versions. The circularity is the charm: Pitfall! was Activision's biggest Atari 2600 hit, and its sequel landed on Atari's final console.
