Pitfall! by Activision for the Atari 2600 was the best-selling home video game of 1982 and the first quarter of 1983. January 1983 it had been the top-selling game on the Billboard chart for seven weeks, much more successful than E.T., which Atari had paid $21 million to license and remained in the number one position for 64 weeks in a row. Danny Goodman of Creative Computing Video & Arcade Games stated that Pitfall! was “a standout” among the dozens of 2600 games announced at the summer 1982 Consumer Electronics Show, a “very original cartridge no VCS should be without”. Arcade Express reviewed the Atari 2600 version of Pitfall! in August 1982, stating that it “may well be the best adventure game yet produced for the VCS” and giving it a score of 8 out of 10. Electronic Games in June 1983 praised the 2600 version’s “superb graphics and varied play-action”.
