Gothic 3	JoWooD Productions;Deep Silver;Aspyr Media (Piranha Bytes)	2006	Also published by Game Factory Interactive (GFI) in Russia.**THE STORY Players saved their home island Khorinis from the forces of evil in [[gameid:47040 Gothic]] and [[gameid:102172 Gothic 2]]. Now it is time to travel to the realms of the mainland, where invading Orcs have enslaved the human kingdom. There are only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and in the southern desert of Varrant, and a handful of rebels hiding in the mountainous forests of the Middle Realm. Players can choose to join the rebellion and stay true to the deposed human king, serve the Orcish usurpers in their quest to topple the last remaining human stronghold, or choose a path that serves their own ends. Every decision made will have an impact on the game world and tip the balance of power. There is no simple linear story in Gothic 3 - every game will be different and unique, with the player ultimately deciding the fate of humankind.

Lost Word of JeNnY: Ushinawareta Message	Takara (Tose)	1987	"Lost Word of Jenny" is based on the "Jenny" dolls toyline, a kind of Japanese "Barbie". In six levels you are collecting parts of a passcode to finish the game. Compared to Takara's first Famicom game [game=#155967]Transformers: Convoy no Nazo[/game] , "Lost Word of Jenny" is an improvement, but not by much. The levels look different from each other and are connected by a city overworld scenario but have a very repetitive layout. The jumping controls are bad and its nearly impossible to land precise attacks.	NES
Mad City	Konami	1988	You're a ragin' Cajun on the tail of a swamp rat. For the first time ever, three of the most awesome action video experiences explode into one mean swamp stompin' adventure. From zappin' mobsters and wrestlin' gators in muddy marshes, to chasin' through the streets of New Orleans, drivin' and a shootin' in your road huggin' four wheel drive doom machine, you're up against it all! 'Cause that gangster king of Bourbon Street has snatched your best girl - pretty little Annabelle, the sweetest honey around - and run her off to his heavily armed estate, a plantation filled with perils and pitfalls. So muster up courage and sharpen your foot long blade. It's time to go huntin'. But if you ain't careful, the prey will eat you alive - I Gar-Ron-Tee!* [52]* [37]*** [27]	NES
Medieval Castle	Peterson Computer Services	1982		TRS-80
Monster Party	Bandai (Human)	1989	A sidescrolling action adventure 'parody horror' game. A young boy, Mark, returns from a ball game and meets a gargoyle alien named Bert. Bert chose Mark to help him out, so he took Mark to his own world and 'fused' with Mark's body. Now, Mark, with the trusty power of his baseball bat (which can be used to hit projectiles, sending them back at the enemy) and the ability to turn into the flying laser-firing Bert for a short time from taking a special pill, must go through eight weird, colorful levels (the first level gets freaky halfway through, with happy faces turning into bloody skulls and creepy faces), and over 20 bosses ranging from just plain silly (like a potted plant that says 'Hello Baby', a bouncing piece of fried shrimp, and a giant kitten) to the really eldritch (a bunch of weird faces, the Grim Reaper, and the final eyeball boss). What's even stranger about the game is its freaky and slightly disturbing (and a little gory) ending, and the fact that this Japanese game didn't come out in Japan. [riki]	NES

Ninja-Kun: Ashura no Shou	UPL	1988	"Ninja-Kun: Ashura no Shou" is the sequel to [url=http://www.uvlist.net/game-167992-Ninja+Kun+Majou+no+Bouken]Ninja-Kun: Majou no Bouken[/url]. It's bigger (31 levels!), and more varied than its predecessor. In some levels you have just reach the exit, other levels require you to kill all enemies. There are underwater swimming passages, some levels go mostly up, others go from left to right. But it's still not really good, because the game is hard. Really hard. Unfair hard. You know the typical climbing up a wall and with bad luck an enemy sitting at the edge which you impossibly can avoid? This game includes lots of those scenes. And the controls are not the best. Wall jumping, despite being necessary in later levels is hard to put off for example. One of those games that gave me lots of trouble finishing despite an endless lives cheat and save states.***Was planned to be published in North America as [i]Ninja Taro[/i] by American Sammy.	NES

Pitfall!	Activision	1984	"Let me introduce myself. I’m Pitfall Harry, veteran jungle explorer. Fortune hunting’s my game, and yours, too, if you’re daring enough to take this trip with me. Don’t be nervous; I’ll be your guide through the jungle, and I’m one of the best. "Untold riches are waiting for us there, but so are dangers a dozen times over. We’ll be swinging on vines over bottomless tarpits. We’ll be hopping across swamps, using crocodile heads like stepping stones. We’ll be searching underground through dark passageways crawling with killer scorpions. "So pack up your backpack and meet me at the jungle at dawn – and we’ll be off to seek a king’s ransom in gold, diamonds and lost treasures – in Pitfall Harry’s Jungle Adventure.* [193]* [152]* [77]* [18]* [4]* [48]* [48]* [48]	C64
Pitfall!	Activision;CCE;Ariola (Activision)	1982	[media=youtube]sHax8GTY41M[/media]*David Crane originally designed the game with an entirely mortal Harry (1 death ends the game). Sadly, two weeks before production, he made the game easier by giving Harry multiple lives. Still, this is one of the most challenging games for the 2600, very few gamers have gotten all 32 treasures in the alloted 20 minutes. The world record for the fastest time is 18:52. (1:06 left on the clock). The best player in the world can only achieve a time that is 5.66% faster than required. A 'Perfect Game' can be achieved by collecting all 32 treasures and never dying, never falling and never being damaged by a hostile object. The resulting score will be 114,000. There are 256 screens that connect end to end (screen 1 connects to screen 256). The underground (tunnels) skip around the ring of screens in a different order than the overworld. You can go left or right on any screen that doesn't have a brick wall in the way. The general consensus is that it is easier to go left from the starting screen because of the direction logs travel and dying starts you on the left side of the screen. However, to take the most efficient path to get all the treasures in time, start by going right. Also, unless you have a photographic memory, make a map. There are many hacks available for download. Here is a few of the notable ones. Pitfall Trainer: Timer removed & INF Lives, usefully cheat for cartography and practice. Jungle Jane: A faster, meaner, better sounding, more colorful version with a female star. Enhanced Pitfall +: 3 levels of difficulty, including 'Practice'. Scorpions climb ladders and travel screen to screen. There are additional treasures and enemies. Underground tunnels are smaller. Bottomless Pitfall: Graphically enhanced. Can't go left from the start. Logs roll both ways. You restart a screen (after dying) from the side you entered. 10 hour clock and unlimited treasures, so a maximum scores are much more varied. Harry has hit points. The rattlesnakes are not out of place in this game's setting, they are crotalus durissus, found in most countries in South America. [Zerothis]*This is the game that makes a 2600 worth owning. Pitfall is an adventure game classic. Gameplay is simple yet challenging, repetitive yet enduring. In an age of multi-level 3D gaming worlds, Pitfall has yet to be equaled.	Atari 2600
