"also there was one with a set of teeth or something?"
yeah i know the one youre talking about. two of my bandmates are ubergeek atari fanatics. i even went with them to a big atari geekfest in vegas once it was rad. those are some sick people. i got to play an odyssey 3 system for hours though so that's why i went. there was an X rated game too. and a game called chase the chuckwagon that's super rare and was only available through mailorder through chuckwagon dog food. |

Pressure Cooker baby. That song between levels was the best.
Honorable mention to Keystone Kapers; apparently the guy's who you were always chasing was named Harry Hooligan. |

ADVENTURE was the sweetest game ever. those dragons/ducks were fierce. you can play it online flashsomewhere if you search for it.
i also was a fan of the acrobats game that you played with the pong wheel? my guess is it was called acrobats, or circus. combat was solid, along with the other war games like the one that involved planes and whatnot. but the graphics of pitfall were too impressive. it was like those crocodiles were in my living room. |

Online you can find Indenture which emulates the original levels and adds some with over 300 rooms for those that just can't get enough of being square |
