A WORD ON JOYSTICK ASSIGNMENT

If you have only one joystick attached to your system, the "tab" key can be used to assign the joystick to either player one or player two. By default Personal Arcade assigns the joystick to player one. To allow head-to-head play, press the "tab" key to toggle joystick control to player two. The joystick status is displayed in the Personal Arcade title bar.

If you have two joysticks connected to your system, Personal Arcade will automatically assign them to player one and player two.

BASIC PERSONAL ARCADE OPERATIONS FOR MOUSE USE:

The mouse is not used in game play, it is only used to select game buttons and to close windows.

Guide Harry through a treacherous jungle maze. He must leap over obstacles and dodge deadly dangers while grabbing all the treasure he can reach!

THE PERILS OF PITFALL!

Pitfall Harry's Jungle Adventure involves great danger. Some hazards slow him down, robbing you of points; others stop him cold. The "inconvenient" hazards are open holes in the ground and rolling logs (see "Scoring"). The "catastrophic" hazards include scorpions, cobras, crocodiles, swamps, fire, quicksand and tar pits. These obstacles will not cost you points, but they will cost Harry one of his three lives.

STARTING THE GAME

After the title screen demonstration, the game will begin automatically. To begin the action, move the Control Stick left or right.

PLAYING THE GAME

• To run left or right, lean Control Stick in that direction.
• To jump over obstacles, press either fire button.
• To climb up ladders, push the Control Stick forward; to descend, pull back.
• To grab a swinging vine, press either side button while running left or right.
• To release a vine, pull the Control Stick toward you.
• To pick up a treasure, run by it.
• To pause the action, press "2" or PAUSE/BREAK.
• To resume action, press any number other than "2" or PAUSE/BREAK again.
• To start a new game at any time, press "*" or "#" or F1.

SCORING

You start each adventure with 2,000 points. Should you fall down a hole you will lose 100 points. Rolling logs will also cause point loss depending on how long contact is made with them.

Finding treasure earns you points. There are eight of each type of treasure in the game, 32 in all, worth a total of 112,000 points. Collect them all without losing any points for falling down holes or tripping on logs and you'll have earned a perfect score - 114,000!
