So, I'm cleaning up my computer desk, throwing away old games, etc.

And this is what I've come across (any of these sound familiar?):

Pitfall
Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball
Deer Avenger
The Incredible Machine
Earthworm Jim
Motocross Madness
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Re volt
Sim City

But I have to admit, I loaded the following game and have been playing it for two hours (so far):

Need For Speed III

Gad, I feel so old! But, DAMN, that Corvette is fast!

Which version of Pitfall do you have?

The original one had very low resolution graphics. Later, Pitfall was a very cool side-scroller. As I recall, the original Pitfall game was embedded as a sort of reward in one of the rooms of the updated Pitfall. The only way could finish the game was by using some cheat-codes to give me invulnerability or unlimited strength. But my daughter could do it without cheating.

Of your list there, Pitfall is the only one I've played.

Well, I'm afraid to load it (I assume you're not surprised), so I'm not sure of the version.

But the copywright (copywrite?) is 1995 (egads!).

I've heard of all of them except for Re Volt... I have all of them except for the Baseball, Tony Hawk, Motorcross, and Earthworm Jim...


As for the Pitfall... I think I've owned every version that has come out... There is a Version out for the Wii that I plan on getting soon...
1995, You probably have the Mayan Adventure... But you might also have the Original... What does it say on the Disk???



I've had some bad experience with Pictures, so let me know if this isn't Pitfall...

This was a Never Ending Game... The only thing you could do was keep getting points... They just don't make 'em like they use to...

A 1982 classic! Just like me!

Earthworm Jim was great fun, as was Sim City and the '95 version of Pitfall. But nothing comes close to the hours of entertainment I've had playing around with The Incredible Machine! I'm a huge fan of Rube Goldberg devices!

True nostalgia there bud!

If I remember correctly, The Incredible Machine was a logic game where you had organize a bunch of objects and machine parts into a machine and then run it in order to solve some sort of puzzle ~



I never actually played it, but I used to watch a friend play, and I may have tried a couple times

Don't throw those away.

Man I loved that game!!

"I'm gonna pretend your accelerator is stuck and let you off with a warning".... classic!

I got so good at that game as I too played it for hours non stop. I think I managed to hit 340 km/h with the Mercedes CLK-GTR on one stage. There's a screenshot of it somewhere, I might see if I can dig it up.

I liked the Earthworm Jim game, that was great. Sim City 2000 was probably the main one I played.

I don't really know much about the rest other than hearing about some of them. I did watch a friend play Pitfall at a video games exhibition though (can't remember if I tried it too).

Here's another game that I use to love as a kid... My father even use to play this one with us...

Yep, that's it.

Right, it's "Mayan Adventure."

The Mayan Adventure was fun, I enjoyed that one...

I left out the Title waiting to see if someone would recognize it...
River Raid was an Awesome game... I have that on a Playstation game pack that has a bunch of Atari games on it... I still love playing it...
