    I think Pitfall can make a great mobile game.

    While I do really appreciative it that Activision finally stood down from it`s Horse and start to act on the Mobil Battlefield with an own Studio their new Entrance seem to be kinda Lame.

    Instead of bringing one of it`s recent Multi Million Dollar Franchise to the Mobil World with a big Bang all we get is Pitfall?

    Don`t get me wrong - Pitfall is cool and great and I had a great Time with it over the last few Decades but...

    ACTIVISION BLIZZARD opens up a hole new Studio in Great Britain and all we get is a Port of an 30 Years old Game?

    This is kinda Lame.

    Taking a look at the other Activision Games on the Appstore I ask myself how ACTIVISION BLIZZARD expect to survive against EA Mobil & Gameloft when all we get are either bad 3DS Ports of their Call of Duty Franchise or some Ports of some stale Games that have been ported to everything I can imagine - Even Toilette's in Tokyo.

    What we really need now is an entire collection of their classic hits on one app like the Atari one!

    I must admit i would prefer Pitfall than Call of Duty (got lots of similar COD games out on iOS already)

    Pitfall is a classic so i hope they dont mess it up ! No weird tilt/swipe controls, have good old fashioned on screen buttons !

    Loved this on the Atari VCS and over the years seeing the various versions. Really hope they do a decent version of this (And surely it would be great as an easter egg or option to have the original Atari version as well)

    YES! Pitfall was my #1 favorite game from the Atari days, so looking forward to this.

    I do hope they try to stick a little closer to the original Pitfall with this, rather than those later SNES games. They were cool, but I ended up using the code to play the original game on my SNES more than I actually played the Super Pitfall game (or whatever it was called). I never even got the sequel to the SNES Pitfall game.

    Bring on the original game with new graphics/sound, I say! But I'm probably in the minority on that, since in modern day, a game like that would be seen as way boring (just not for me!).

    This was one of my favorite Atari games. I hope the controls are good as I forsee navigating the three alligator heads as a frustrating task. The timing of the 3 jumps will be crucial!

    If they made a modern game that looked like the box art of the Activision games, I would be a very happy little nerd.

    Bit Trip Runner already went there and is the one to beat.

    I'm surprised they haven't re(re-re-re)done Activision Anthology for iOS. That's a lot of fun on the Vita (transfer the PSP version), and the PS2 version is nice as well. The absolute best IMHO is the GameBoy Advance version, which has a mess of homebrew games not seen anywhere else (except limited-run cartridges sold on AtariAge).

    Bit.Trip.Runner also came to mind when I first heard of a Pitfall remake for smartphones. I think that a rhythmic runner with a jungle theme and classic Pitfall obstacles would be very cool - and of course I am a big fan of Bit.Trip.Runner.

    If I had any skill, I would create a multi-stage endless runner with Jungle King (or Jungle Hunt if I cared about getting sued by the Tarzan estate) stages and graphics.

    Come to think of it, that would be Tomena Sanner in the jungle.

    Would LOVE that to happen, wish more old companies did anthologies.
