Do I have to finish the game to post a score?

[Madaracs]

This game kicks my ass. I get to the first save point and cannot seem to get beyond that.

Is there a booby prize for lowest Pitfall II score?

[Zoyx]

132000+... then multiple deaths, followed by a chucking of my CV against the wall.

Dood, Z. Maybe you shoulda just chucked the game...

But I feel your pain.

You need a new CV? I got a few extra...

[Zoyx]

CV is fine, it is the controllers and game I have an issue with. The timing of this game is different than the 2600 version. I am back to playing the 2600 version... might come back to this at a later time.... provide a proper screenshot.

I have Yurkified controllers. They work awesome. You should give them a try next time you're over.

I have Yurkified controllers as well and let me tell you it makes the colecovision 10 times better. Over the years the only thing I have seen people complain about has been the controllers and Yurkies controllers are awesome and remove the pain and awekwardness from the controller.

[Zoyx]

Are there kits out there for "Yurking" your own controller? Just bought a Super Action and a Quickshot III. We'll see if these are any good.

Thanks for the compliments.

They are talking about my Controller refurbishing and modding. Here is a link to the thread with DIY info.

Whew, good thing for Colecovision SD since my PitfallII cart didn't seem to work for some reason. Must have never tested it after I bought it.

The birds and frogs aren't bad, but I hate the bats.
