Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (Windows)

The Windows Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure is a port of the Genesis game. It was launched alongside Windows 95 to promote the multimedia capabilities of the new operating system as part of a deal struck with Bill Gates.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Does there seem to be some unused non-compiler text in the .exe file (among possible others)?

Hidden Pictures#

Type IDDQD, the "god mode" code from Doom.

Type paidtoplaygames during gameplay to see the original QA testers.

Hatman#

Type in HATMAN during gameplay once to turn the player's sprite into the ever-infamous Hatman, twice for all other sprites, and a third time to change them back.

Hidden Pee Joke#

Hold Alt-Y until the next idle animation. Harry will begin peeing and looking back at the camera.

Earthworm Jim Level#

Type in mijmrowhtrae (earthwormjim backwards) during gameplay. When selecting the Atari 2600 level, you'll instead get a level from Earthworm Jim filled with items (Kinesoft had also developed the Windows port of Earthworm Jim: Special Edition).

At the bottom-right of the map is Jim himself. Killing him causes an explosion and resets the level.

Unused Music#

Jungle Boss Theme

Ruins Boss Theme

While not missing in the Sega CD version, the boss themes for Ceiba Jungle and both the Lost City of Copán and Tikal Ruins are still present on the disc but do not play here.

Jaina Island Falls (Early Version)

In a similar vein, an unused version of Jaina Island Falls can be found immediately after its final version. The way it is structured as well as its length suggests that this could have been a boss theme.
