10 Hilarious Game Overs You WANT To See

The Pitfall games have never really believed in the concept of hand-holding, preferring instead to slap it away or indeed cut if off if the player goes begging for an easier ride. The aim of the game is simple, collect the treasures in each stage and try not to die, but it's that last part that is the real challenge because EVERYTHING wants to kill you.

From deadly traps, to even deadlier wildlife you need to be on your toes at all times if you want to make it through any of these titles. In fact, no clearer was the developers' intention to kill you stated than in the opening moments of Super Pitfall, which presents to the player a ladder going down into a hole in the opening moments.

Of course, your natural instinct is to head down, WELL MORE FOOL YOU because this ladder will actually lead you straight down into a pit full of spikes, killing you instantly. If you listen closely you can actually hear the devs laughing at you for falling for this ridiculous trap.
