Player Questions

What should I know before playing Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure?

The main goal is to rescue Pitfall Harry Sr. by exploring the interconnected jungle, cave, and temple zones, gaining ability upgrades along the way, and ultimately discovering a way to locate him deep inside the treacherous ruins.

How many stages or zones are there?

There are seven main 'zone stages', each containing interior and exterior elements, including jungle treks, underground caverns with falling platforms, collapsing lava-filled mountains, and the final subterranean levels in the actual Mayan city itself.

Can I save my progress?

In the original Atari Jaguar version, there is no battery-save feature. However you can use passcodes presented after clearing certain temples, which act as 'checkpoints' to start from specific zones you have unlocked.
