Dear Supporters

Here's my pixelated reenactment of Brad Fregger's incredible interview story about the secret Easter Egg in Pitfall 2.

David Crane mentioned to me recently that he's looking to me to continue the archiving of these stories for future generations to know and enjoy. Quite an honour, and I hope I've done it justice here with the usual mix of backstory, setup, and fun reveal 😊

Video updated with feedback from David Crane: https://youtu.be/V9X-3CmDjLs

I also hope the "highly engaging" reverse psychology thumbnail doesn't work in reverse to reverse! 😉🤞

Thanks for your ongoing support!

Your friend in retro, Perifractic
