: My cousin recently mailed me some game CD's, Adobe Photoshop, CorelXARA, Hot Dog(HTML thing), and Paint Shop Pro, and out of the many games he also sent me was Pitfall. So I put that in and that sunuva butthead was definately Indy inspired! On the beginning cutscene, they show the boy walking into a temple and there's a golden idol in there. And on the cover it's a pic of him swinging on a vine or a whip. And it also looks like he has a whip strapped to him which he lashes out at times. Anyone seen this? See ya, Shorty.

Boy does that game bring back memories. I purchased a Coleco Vision video game in 1982, and with it came two games. Donkey Kong and Pitfall. I played the Pitfall game quite a bit, and can remember the character using his bull whip to swing over pits of alligators. This was the first Indy inspired game, and pretty primitive nowadays. But I'm glad to see someone else being aware of this game. Steve
