GUEST GAME - Pitfall 2 - The Lost Caverns
You can listen to and download my version of the music here:
Pitfall 2 - The Lost Caverns - March
Original Composer(s): David Crane
Originally released in 1984, Pitfall 2 is the sequel to the original Pitfall. This was one of the first large scale platforming games ever released on a home console and extremely unique in that you could actually backtrack and the game itself was fairly open (though remaining linear in fashion). Pitfall 2 also sported a handy checkpoint system... which most likely saved many atari controllers from being slammed into the wall. More about this game can be read HERE
Yup, David Crane, the game's programmer, composed this highly hummable tune! No offense to all of my coder pals and other code monkeys out there.. but usually most of them aren't exactly musically gifted. This is an extremely strong theme from the grandaddy of all adventure games ... Pitfall 2 - The Lost Caverns. For Guest Game #2, I have chosen to ReOrchestrate one of my all time favorite video game themes... which surprisingly is really never remixed or orchestrated. You've all heard it, you've all wondered what it would sound like orchestrated... well here ya go!
For reference, you can listen to the original Atari 2600 tune here:
