Pitfall II: Lost Caverns is a platform video game originally released for the Atari 2600 video game console in 1984. It is the sequel to the popular Pitfall!. Both games were designed and written by David Crane and published by Activision. The star of the games is Pitfall Harry, an 8-bit jungle explorer. The game's plot was later loosely remade into Super Pitfall for the Famicom/NES. Released after the North American video game crash of 1983, when interest in the 2600 was waning, Pitfall II was one of the last major releases for the console.
