Please! The PC game was the best one, with 32X colors and resolution, combined with the improved Sega CD audio. But it is tricky to run on modern systems, so it's a prime game for the GOG Preservation Program.
Please i want the definitive versión, thats is the pc, exactly the windows 95, with the musics and the extra leves, this game is not working on windows 10 with out tinkering around, i played in the past, in the sega genesis, never finished at that time, is very fun to play with plataform , with secrets to be found, this is the best pitfall ever created , the graphics and animations are on par or superior to aladin sega genesis, also the music and sounds has so much soul ,and awsome composition ,beatifull to listen , adding atmosphere to the gameplay , really a gem of a game, that can not be outside of gog program

I still have my physical copy of the game and it runs "out of the box" on Windows 10 and it's an absolute blast! However, the game needs some tinkering to get it running at it's full potential. A proper full screen mode with wide screen support would be a phenomenal addition if the game were to ever be re-released digitally. I remember reading a game magazine at my school library and finding a map to help me beat the fourth level!

Possibly the only Pitfall game worth playing these days. Who's jonsing to pick up a copy of Super Pitfall, anyway? Besides, this has Pitfall built into it; all that's missing is Pitfall 2 as a pack in somewhere. Frankly, I don't know where the idea to reboot pitfall as a modern platformer came from, but I salute the design team nonetheless for finding a way to revitalize a pre-NES platformer into a full proper adventure.

I played this game a lot between 98 and 2000. I still have the original CD but I would like to have it on GOG. Unfortunately I couldn't get the game's music to work. Please!!!!
I've got very fond memories of playing this game back in the day on my Sega Mega Drive. I'd like to revisit it through the PC version which, according to Digital Foundry's John Linnenman, is the definitive version of the game. Unfortunately, getting it to to run on a modern operating system is needlessly convuluted.

This game had some of the best 2D animation of it's time, on the level of Aladdin and Earthworm Jim! The PC version needs to come back as it's the best version of the game!
Those games also need your vote!
