Hi,

Well I got Pitfall II along with my copy of Win95 (it was $35 when
you bought win95).  Overall, the game is very good.  If you spent
hours playing Pitfall on the Atari then I think you will like this
game.  You can play it in a window or in full screen mode.  Windowed
its slower (but this is almost better in some places).  The graphics
are good and the music/sound effects are very nice.  

There are only two things I don't like so far:  1)  If you want to
play full screen you have to manually set that using the file menu
everytime you start up the game.  2)  I don't know how long it will
last.  By this I mean I don't know how long it will be until I
finish the game.  Last night I did 3 levels (out of 15 or so) in
a hour or so.  Once I finish the game I don't know if I will
want to keep playing it over and over again (like I would on
the Atari).

I think the game is worth the bucks but it might be a bit short.

Matt
