THE OUTPOST 312/\441-6957
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For several years a company out of California called Activision
|
|||
|
|
produced fairly good (though somewhat tiresome) games for that
|
|||
|
|
long worshipped game- unit, the Atari 2600. Well, as sales of the
|
|||
|
|
2600 began dropping off, the boys at Activision decided to get
|
|||
|
|
into computer games. So they started with the Atari computers,
|
|||
|
|
then the Commodore 64 and IBM PC Jr. Now, finally the Apple
|
|||
|
|
family.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The object of Pitfall II is to rescue Pitfall Harry's cartoon
|
|||
|
|
friends Rhonda and Quickclaw. To do this, Harry runs, swims, and
|
|||
|
|
jumps all over the "Lost Caverns" in search of his missing pals.
|
|||
|
|
He can take any fall and has an unlimited amount of air
|
|||
|
|
underwater (not one of the more realistic features of the game).
|
|||
|
|
The cavern is huge, consisting off more than twenty levels in
|
|||
|
|
places. Also strewn all over the carvern are treasures (mostly
|
|||
|
|
gold bars) of various values.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Harry's quest is not without it's "pitfalls" though. All over
|
|||
|
|
the caverns are vultures, bats, rats, electric eels (in the
|
|||
|
|
water), and the every popular Amazon killer frog! Just avoid
|
|||
|
|
these beasts and you will be OK.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The game doesn't end until you rescue both of Harry's friends.
|
|||
|
|
Each time you touch a beast (except the rat) you are taken back
|
|||
|
|
to the last X marker you reached. The rats are a little
|
|||
|
|
different. These territorial-minded rodents will just send you
|
|||
|
|
back to the screen you were at previously. There is no way to
|
|||
|
|
avoid the little buggers. Treasures are worth 5000 points each,
|
|||
|
|
Rhonda and Quickclaw are worth 10,000 each. You lose points while
|
|||
|
|
returning to the X mark after dying, thus the further away the X
|
|||
|
|
is, the more points you lose. 'Nuff said. An easy game.

The following is a SOLVE for the game. These are the actual moves
|
|||
|
|
you need to make. Those with a heart condition turn back now!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ok...here we go...you can probably figure that R means go 1
|
|||
|
|
screen to the right, etc... the stuff in brackets is side
|
|||
|
|
inbo...I also didn't include where various beasts occur...you'll
|
|||
|
|
find out anyway...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
from the start: R, R, D [get the gold dummy!], R, R [back on
|
|||
|
|
land], R, D, D [the next X marker], L, D, R, D, D, D, D, D, D, D,
|
|||
|
|
D, D, D, D, D, D, L [go to the very edge of the ledge and jump!],
|
|||
|
|
L [next X marker], L [go to very edge of the ledge and wait for
|
|||
|
|
the balloon. Jump and grab it, then go all the way up on the
|
|||
|
|
left side until the ceiling pops your balloon], L, U [save the
|
|||
|
|
lovely Rhonda], D [next X marker], D, U, L [walk of ledge], [get
|
|||
|
|
next X on the ground], L, U, R, U, L, U, R, U, L, U, R, U, U, R,
|
|||
|
|
U, U, L, U, R, U, L, U, U [next X], U, R, U, L, U, R, U, L, U, R,
|
|||
|
|
U, L, U, R, U, U, U, L, U [save Quickclaw!]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's it! This game is really an exercise in monotony, but enjoy
|
|||
|
|
it anyway (I guess!).
