0:00.0	The Speaking of Retronauts, if your pitfalls Harry, maybe shave it. Oh, Hi everyone. Welcome to Retronauts episode 576. I am Jeremy Parish and this is a follow-on from Retronauts episode 574 called Pitfall Series part one.
0:41.0	This is called, wait for it, Pitfall part two. It's not pitfall two, we already talked about that.
0:46.3	And if you haven't heard it, that's because it was a patron exclusive episode locked behind a paid firewall. That's right, we're extorting you. You want to learn about the classic
0:56.4	pitfall games, you have to pony up. Here we're going to talk about the semi and non-classic
1:02.3	pitfall games. This is mainly a Stuart Jip episode.
1:05.2	Stuart High, introduce yourself.
1:06.5	Oh hello, I'm Stuart Jip. I'm still reeling from if your pitfall was hairy, maybe shave it.
1:10.8	That's something else right there, Jeremy. I want to afford you for that well.
1:14.3	Depilatories are also fine. And also with us here this week we have.
1:20.3	Quick Clause greatest fan Kevin Bunch.
1:24.0	Hello gentlemen, thank you for joining me for this continuation of our pitfall docudrama.
1:30.0	So like I said in episode 574, look at that. I'm so organized I actually know the numbers.
1:38.0	We talked about Pitfall 2 and boy and his blob. Oh also super pitfall. We talked about super pitfall didn't we or did we?
1:46.8	We didn't think so. We saw a touch on it. That's where we're starting today. Okay, that's exciting.
1:51.3	All right. What a great place to start.
1:53.0	Yes, I mean, really, it can only go up from here.
1:56.0	That's not true, actually.
1:58.0	Super Pitfall is really interesting.
2:00.0	It's really bad and sloppily designed, but that's on a technical level. In terms of ambition, it's actually very interesting. So if you would like to hear our thoughts on the groundbreaking legendary
2:15.1	pitfall and pitfall two and all of their variants and also a boy in its
2:18.1	blob. Basically the games that David Crane designed around the idea of running and jumping and walking down into sewers and
2:26.5	caverns. Go check out that previous episode available at patreon.com slash retronauts for anyone who subscribes at the five dollar a month or higher levels of the the patreon tears
