Review Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
Can Harry Jr. fill his father's boots?

I'd have preferred the SNES game more just because its the SNES game. I once rented the SNES game as a kid and enjoyed it while I had it. Does this have the original Pitfall too?
@Bass X0,
Yes it does.
Thank you for addressing me directly otherwise I wouldn't have known.
Its almost worth it just to get the original Pitfall
Confirmed: Atari 2600 on VC!
Reminds me of "Earthworm Jim"...
lol @ comment 3
I almost bought this off ebay a couple days ago. very glad I didn't. I didn't even know this was rated for a vc release.
Finally...now all I need is the Alladin game that was on the Genesis!
I will definately download this, and I think I'm the only person happy that we got the Genesis version of the game lol
I would LOVE to see the 3d PC version.
I kind of want this...will probably get it at some point...
OMG I've missed this game so much! I had it as one of my first games on the SNES
disney does not want to put their games on vc?
why not?does anyone know?
now that is true you can play the atari version i will get it. i thik is really cool that you will be playing atari emulation in your wii.
What! Disney won't allow VC releases I loved Aladdin back in the day, that's so disappointing...I'm Annoyed.....
I know the PC version and it´s great... I put this one on my wishlist.
Too bad we can't have Pitfall 2 on the VC.
