Happy birthday, Super Pitfall!
On this day, 30 years ago, the game was released for japanese players. Now, a new version can be played and maybe some people will discover what made this game so special, despite its many flaws.
So, what are you waiting for? Go play it and I hope you enjoy it!
Também disponível em português (incluso no zip)!
Yay! Congratulations to Nesrocks and happy birthday to Super Pitfall!
Thanks a lot Nesrocks! As far as Pitfall goes I really love arcade version by Sega but I’m going to check your patch immediately. It already looks great on screenshots. 🙂
You’ve done an amazing job. It’s like a brand new game.
Thanks to you, I’ve finished this game for the first time. When I was younger, Super Pitfall was one of my favorite games. A huge sprawling labyrinth of secrets, I found something new and interesting every time I played, whether it was a completely different world with zombies in trenchcoats, a way to unlock a strange door, a diamond, or a weird sunny place…
I’m really delighted to finally have seen all of it… and infuriatingly I was SO CLOSE when I was young. I could get to all the places I needed to be, just not one after the other!
Ah well. Thank you very much for this.
That’s awesome! I hope that the next game you hack will be Contra Force. It really could use some improvements…
It is not in my plans, but for contra force it almost feels like it would be better to change Super C into contra force than fixing it.
Hi-
The hack looks phenomenal. Are you planning to bring it to cart form? I would love to play it on my NES.
I get a different “after” SHA-1 (US version), tried with multiple ips patchers and they all result in the following SHA-1:
B2198E1CBCC74CCFA1BE610D16031D326F725049
You seem to have a different ROM version. There are many dumps around, and the one you have may work without problems even if the SHA-1 is different, but that can’t be guaranteed.
This is the the hack that I recommend more than any other. I loved this game as a kid but could never beat it. My first time playing this hack, I beat it. and over the years beat a few more times. The graphics look so much better, I love the addition of the music from Pitfall II. Having all the hidden items visible and unlimited ammo really take a very broken game and turns it into a real gem. Things make more sense here. You go through a gate instead of jumping into at a random wall. I’ll keep recommending this game as it really deserves to be played.
Nice! 🙂 And now that you’re trained you can even go back and play the original and beat it! It’s like a party trick.
