Before Super Mario, Pokemon, GTA... There was Pitfall. I have no idea how I got this game, but the fact remains I had it and it was the first game I ever beat.
This game introduced me to myself too. This game let me know that I am or was a video game rager. Yes I admit it, I rage hard when I play video games. I once smashed my Xbox 360 controller after I failed a GTA 4 mission; that's a story for another day. I played Pitfall game as a single digit year old and some missions like the mine and the double Cat boss missions pissed me off, and I would rage. I remember quitting the game for a while then returning to afterwards defeating the game, and it felt so good that I persisted and defeated my first video game.
Pitfall days were iCONIC
Pitfull was a platform game that was a lot more versatile than that of Mario games. The graphics, gameplay and abilities were better than Mario during the 90s.
The story was your dad got captured by a monster and you most travel the Mayan jungle, mines and temples in search for your dad. The abilities the guy had was jumping, running, whipping and throwing projectiles that you could save throughout the game.
I beat this game once, maybe twice, and that was enough for me. I still have the CD version to this day.
Again, I have no idea where this game came from. But hey, it was the first game I defeated.
