When you destroy the Qotile,
there will be an explosion, during which the Yar stays on the screen.
It is possible with a lesser force to defeat a greater, and
vice versa. The secret lies in an eye for locality, and in
not letting the right moment slip. Use this opportunity to make
up your own Yar's Revenge Victory Dance.
If you score 20,000 points or
more in Pitfall, you will be eligible to join a prestigious organization.
When your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted
and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take
advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will
be able to avert the consequences that must ensue. But if you do
make it, send in a picture of your TV screen showing your score,
and you'll be presented with a special Explorers' Club Membership
Emblem.
Use
the wells as escape zones. Since humans
can't go into the wells, E.T. can deliberately fall into one if
a threatening human approaches. Remember,
floating in and out of wells costs energy. With this loss of substance
and exhaustion of strength, the homes
of the people will be stripped bare, and three-tenths of their income
will be dissipated. You should Give Elliott as many pieces of Candy
as possible. The more you give him,
the more bonus points you score at the end of the game.
