Looks/feels like an upgraded Pitfall, which is unsurprising. One of my childhood annoyances is I never got my patch for a perfect Pitfall game. Due to family challenges, getting the picture and sending the letter was complicated and I was crushed when it never came. I camped out the mailbox for weeks.

Spent way too long trying to figure out how the hell they’d send out software patches for a 2600 cartridge. Forgot that Atari used to send out the sew-on kind.
