Having a pitfall in the original game was too much power. My villagers were in constant danger. Part of my Animal Crossing nostalgia illustrations

One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.

🇺🇲 52 Years Ago, on June 27, 1972, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney founded Atari, Inc. This groundbreaking company became a pioneer in the arcade video game industry, home gaming consoles, and personal computers. Atari's first major success was the arcade game "Pong," released in 1972. It became the first commercially successful video game and launched the arcade gaming era.

🕹 In 1977, Atari released the Atari 2600 (originally known as the Atari VCS), which popularized home video game consoles and sold over 30 million units. The Atari 2600 boasted a library of over 900 games, including classics like "Space Invaders," "Pac-Man," and "Pitfall!"

💾 Atari was one of the first companies to develop and distribute microprocessor-based gaming systems, which were a significant technological advancement at the time.

💵 In 1976, Atari was sold to Warner Communications for $28 million. The infusion of capital allowed Atari to expand its operations and dominate the video game industry. Despite financial struggles and changes in ownership, Atari's legacy lives on. The brand is still recognized worldwide and remains a symbol of the early days of video gaming.

Blackhawks show progress, pitfalls in preseason loss, plus 5 questions for Frank Nazar

CHICAGO — If Frank Nazar has a number in mind in terms of goals and points, he’s not letting on. “No, I mean, I hope I score a thousand points,” he said. “But we’ll just see how it goes. I just want to get better each year, so doing better than I did last year, that’s all that’s on my mind.” There are two key Nazar numbers that there’s no escape from. One is 46,199,937, the number of dollars his…

"Pitfalls - No Right Turn / No Turn Left" (2 versions)

Pictogram made in GIMP for "The Backrooms - Pitfalls" by Kane Pixels. I re-used the Async "A" I had used in the Backrooms exit sign I made earlier.

This one gave me a genuine headache, and I am still seeing bits I could improve on - the street should continue on into the tunnel etc. It took me a ridiculous amount of time and planning (at least, in my own opinion) to get things right, and I needed about 2-2,5 hours to finish this piece. Perhaps 3. At times, I wasn't even sure if I would be able to pull off using only two colors.

BUT - aside from some stuff I might return to, in order to further 'tweak' the picture (like the aforementioned street etc), I am actually kinda proud I managed to do this. I think once I got a nap and that headache is gone, I will actually be pretty happy with this.

I really liked the look of the 'red neighborhood' in the Pitfalls video and how eerie it looked, and when I saw a screenshot of the look from the tunnel after finishing the backrooms exit sign, something in me felt very compelled to try and make a pictogram out of that particular scene.

(Update: I actually went back some hours later and made the version with the street going into the tunnel. Because perfectionism. Took me like another 30 minutes at least. I also went back and centered the image a bit more - still not perfect, but better than before imo. I decided to post both versions because I like each one for its own reasons.)

(The title is a play on traffic signs - I saw one that said 'Only Left Turn' and then I realised the potential for wordplay.)
