Looks like a dumpster fire, all told. I like the one-line review idea here, and you've done well to sum all of this garbage up succinctly. There's just one problem: where's your one-liner for Pitfall? We all want to hear about that game. Then maybe someone can extrapolate based on that one line, into, say, one paragraph and submit a review.
