"Activision Anthology" is a game that aims to entertain those with the shortest of attention spans. That's because "Activision Anthology" is actually ten Atari 2600 games being emulated through a t.v. from the 1980s. The soundtrack is pure '80s synth, and of course, instantly catchy. The Game Boy Advance doesn't have quite as many games as the "Activision Anthology" versions released for other platforms, but it has enough to be entertaining and definitely warrants a play. Games like "Bloody Human Freeway" are nothing short of hilarious (especially when you realize the human is immortal). "Boxing", and "Chopper Command" are likely to produce nostalgia for the more seasoned gamer.

Pitfall Harry is out for treasure in the jungle. Swing from vines, jump rolling logs, and hop from crocodile head to crocodile head in the search of treasure.

I would have to say this version is as primitive as the original Atari game. Not necessarily saying bad things about it, but obviously the programmers did not take full advantage of ColecoVision's graphical capabilities. Plays the same, and controller action is good. Timing is the key to making jumps. Harry runs through the jungle to the sound of his own feet, and "bloop" represents the sound of leaping through the air and falling. Also, there's that classic Tarzan yell when Pitfall Harry grabs hold of a swinging vine. Great game and gameplay, the classic Pitfall! in its raw, primal form. Can I get a "Cro-Magnon"?

Unfortunately, it looks like they were rushing to put out a Game Boy Color title just for the color. They neglected many aspects of what makes a good game. The graphics are in color, but that's about all: not up to standard in terms of detail and animation. The sound is tolerable, but only just. The controls are also lacking, being somewhat unresponsive and making jumps rather hard to judge. Still, that's the challenge of these Pitfall games, so give Beyond the Jungle a try if you're up for a real test of dexterity and coordination.

I have recorded my research on Mayan culture and legend in the following pages. If something should happen to me, it is my hope that Harry Jr. take my personal log and use it as a guide to continue our quest. I only hope that it will be enough help--if ever it must be used...

Care to join Harry in his quest? He could certainly use some assistance.

Pitfall Harry's back, in a new form and a more exciting adventure! Harry has his new gun, but that probably won't get him far without his courage. He must get the Raj Diamond from the Andes Mountains, and he must rescue his niece, Rhonda, and his pet Quickclaw The Lion! There are many different monsters, so watch yourself, and good luck!
