He can also climb up and down ladders and jump over open holes. He can also even swim across underground streams while avoiding electric eels. Pitfall Harry must also sometimes avoid falling rocks and other plummeting projectiles. The caverns have different floors connected by ladders and are like a maze.

Delta Patrol
1985
As you speed your way over the rapidly changing terrain, you begin top realize that you are the last surviving member of Delta Patrol... you are alone. Your knees shake, your stomach flutters. To relax, you think about what you are going up against. After all, you've been there before. The scouts will come first. They're the ones that probably got Chief. The scouts are expendable. Heck, they must be, with the way they seem to come in waves! But once you destroy a few of them the enemy commanders are on to you. They know where you are and how many of you there are. No, don't think about that! And don't think about the more sophisticated ships that will be after you. Better trained, they are the elite of the enemy force. And that Mother Ship! Oh, what a prize that would be! If only... But, no. That was not Delta Patrol's mission. That much you know. But, there is no more Delta Patrol... no more Delta Patrol procedure. What you do will determine the outcome of the next battle. You are the last surviving member ofBug Eyes

1985
star 5.4The game stars the brother of Ninja-kun (from Ninja-Kid). Princess Sakura has been kidnapped by Damazu-Dayuu, and because Ninja-Kun is away on a journey, the task falls to young JaJaMaru-kun. In the game, the player starts with three lives and can only run, jump and throw shurikens. The game is divided into stages, each with four floors and eight enemies. Sakura-Hime and Damazu are placed, unreachable, at the top of the screen. Enemies use various projectiles, one of which will cause the player to lose a life. If JaJaMaru-kun lands on top of an enemy, it will simply be temporarily stunned and vice versa. Once an enemy is defeated and offscreen, a spirit will appear and ascend to the top of the screen. It can be collected before it has disappeared to receive points, which vary depending on the enemy. Sakura will sometimes drop petals that the player can collect, and Damazu will sometimes run around, dropping bombs. To advance to the next stage, the player must defeat all eight enemies by using shurikens. Some bricQuazzi
