237.0. "Super Pitfall" by VCSESU::LANE (March Madness is upon us!!!!!!!) Tue Mar 21 1989 12:45

    
    	I did a dir/title=pitfall and didn't come up with anything. I have
    been playing pitfall for about a month now and i am close to finishing.
    I am having trouble with something though. If you have finished this
    this won't be a spoiler but if you haven't this may be.

    		I have released Quickclaw and found the Raj diamond. I warp
    into the (I swear it's satanic looking) cave and I can find the
    princess but I need to find the potion to free her. I need to know
    where I can find the potion. I'm going crazy! Thanks in advance.

237.1Potion or poisonESPN::SWARTZThu Apr 27 1989 15:345
    I have been playing this game off and on for a while and I believe
    I have found the potion.  My problem is that I can't figure out
    how to get at it.  It seems to be encased in another world you warp
    to.  I think you have to get special "keys" to obtain the potion.
    Send me mail and I will let you know how to get to this world.
237.2Help! stuck at the begining?UPOVAX::BERNIERThu Apr 27 1989 23:3030
    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	I have Super Pitfall also but haven't got far at all
    	perhaps one of you can help me along.
    
    
    	I haven't even got pass the 1st screen yet(I think its still
     	the 1st screen) 
    
    	I have gone from the starting area all the way to the left
    	and right as far as I can go. Also rode the baloon up as 
    	far as I could and have also been down under the lakes
    	were the fish are but I can't seem to get anywhere else
    	
    	Is there a secret door I have missed?????
    
    	I have collected different symbols that I believe let you
    	into other areas but can't seem to find the area in which
    	to use them. Also how does one use them once you get them?
    
    	By symbols I mean the Club and Spade you get near some of the
        piles of gold when you jump they appear.                  
    
    	Thanks in advance

237.3It's a done deal.VCSESU::LANEStanding on the shoulders of giants...Fri Apr 28 1989 14:2025
    
    	RE: .1
    
    		Thanks, but I have finally beat the game. If you have any
    questions you can either post them here or send me mail. I will try to
    help. This was one really tough game to beat. The actual thinking
    wasn;t too hard, just some of the things you had to do were.
    
    
    
    	RE: .2
    
    		You need to keep at it. possible spoiler.
    
    
    
    
    		You need to find all 4 suits. Eventually you will run into
    walls with those symbols on them. They are keys for these walls. You
    need to swing on the ropes to find these doors. I can't really remember
    off hand but if you have some more specific questions, ask away.

237.4To Continue the gamePERFCT::BERNIERFri Jun 02 1989 00:0630
    
    
    
    	I don't know if anyone has already found this out,but you can
    	continue the game were you left off after you die.
    
    	After you die and after the game over banner it puts you back
    	at the game selection for 1 or 2 players.
    
    	When you get this title screen you simply do the following
    
    
    	press select then press the "A" button 3 times then press select
    	again and then press start.
    
    	This allows you to continue the game from where you died.
                       
    	You will know if you did it right when you see Harry below
    	the number 2 on the selction for 2 players.
    
    	You don't get any points but you get to keep all of the suits
    	you had when you died.
    
    	I made it to 2 different rooms so far. One was a club room with
    	only extra bonus points and the other was a diamond room wich
        seemed like a whole new level of play. I found what looks like
    	a cat in a cage???  What is this for and how do I get it out!?
    
    
    	Wayne
237.5Didn't know about the continue .. Thanks.VCSESU::LANEMickey Tettleton :== Daniel WebsterFri Jun 02 1989 13:2718
    
    
    	If you read the book that cat in a cage is Quick Claw. You need
    to rescue him. read hints behind FF
    
    
    
    	You need to find the key. Also, in the area with Quick Claw
    is the potion to save the princess (or whatever her name was). 
    
    	I found that the game pretty much needs to be executed in a
    certain order. It can be done out of order but it makes it really
    difficult. If you have any more questions you can  mail me if you
    like (VCSESU::LANE)

    AFTER ALL THIS SEARCHING FINALLY SOME SUPERPITFALL FREAKS!!
    I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS FRUSTRATING GAME FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS.  I
    DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
    
    1.  WHAT IS THAT HUGE MASK LOCATED NEAR ALL THE FIREBALLS DOING??
        AM I SUPPOSED TO SHOOT IT OR JUST DUCK AS USUAL???
    
    2.  I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET ALL THE SUITS TOGETHER, BUT I AM HAVING
        A HARD TIME WITH THE DIAMOND.  WAYNE, YOU SAY THIS IS THE KEY
        TO GETTING AT QUICKCLAW??  HOW TO YOU GET BACK TO THE DIAMOND
        ROOM ONCE YOU GET THE DIAMOND???  THE WATERFALL ALWAYS SEEMS
        TO GET IN THE WAY.
    
    THANKS FOR THE TIP ABOUT CONTINUEING THE GAME.  I CAN'T WAIT TO
    GO HOME TO PLAY IT!!!!!
                                    
    
    
237.7Where do you jump?PUERTO::BARBUTOSun Aug 20 1989 02:2612
   I just bought this game and the farthest I've got to is past the
    spikes that go up and down to the wall with the square on it. Problem
    is, I couldn't pass it because I didn't have the square. I would
    like to know where you jump to obtain this. Spoilers are welcome.
                                                                  
   Thanks in advance.

re-1: Oops! When I said square, I really meant diamond. Just a little
       clarifacation.  
                     
    
                                                           John
                                                               
   P.S. I still would like to know where the square is, just in case.
     
    
237.9Pitfall IISALEM::RUSSOThu Jul 18 1991 19:098
    
      My son rented a game called Pitfall II. It seems, from the
    description, to be the sme game as Super Pitfall. I noticed no one
    has added to this discussion in a couple of years. If anyone has
    a good memory.. I would also like to know the answers to the 
    questions asked in notes .6-.8  Any spoilers are VERY welcome.
