Pitfall! (Intellivision)

The problem with Pitfall is if you want to "beat" the game, you have to have mapped out the route to get all the treasures before the time runs out, and you have to play the game pixel-perfect on most of your jumps.  If you don't play perfectly then the clock will run out before you can "win".  Otherwise, there is not much point to the game other than the novelty of running and jumping.  

The game is so unforgiving that I found it frustrating.

I suppose you could just play to beat your high score.  However, there is a certain satisfaction to completing the game.
