Pitfall II: Lost Caverns is a platform video game set in Machu Pichu, Peru where the player controls Pitfall Harry. The goal is to get Harry to find and rescue Quick Claw the cat, his niece Rhonda, and recover the Raj diamond. Pitfall Harry moves left and right and can jump over and onto objects, can climb up and down ladders, ascend via balloons and swim to seek treasure and his cohorts. The player can additionally collect gold bars scattered throughout the playfield for more points. Unlike the original Pitfall! , there is no swinging on vines, time limits, or lives . Accidentally falling or interacting with traps and enemies causes the player's score to diminish. The player can find red crosses across the ground that act as checkpoints. When the player is hit by an enemy, Harry returns to the last red cross he found.
