Em Busca dos Tesouros (Atari 2600)

In command of the adventurer H. Unter Kid, the player must explore the terrible T. Nebrous Land in search of incredible treasures, but not before facing unique and hostile creatures, such as the Crazy Scorpion and the Big Head Kannibal!

Pitfall! heavily inspired this game, initially released for the ZX81 line of computers, but is now available on the Atari 2600!

• Colorful graphics;
• Music by Pedro Pimenta;
• Sound effects;
• Traditional and random game modes;
• 100 different screens;
• Exclusive screens to retrieve treasures;
• A handwritten letter by the author of the original game: Tadeu Curinga da Silva;
• Colorful and richly illustrated manual (in Portuguese with an English leaflet).

Tadeu Curinga da Silva, the Brazilian teenager who programmed "Em Busca dos Tesouros" in 1986 for the ZX81, saw his game's fantastic universe rediscovered and appreciated by new generations at Brazil Game Show 2024 after having remained forgotten in collective memory for years.

Fernando's conversion of "Em Busca dos Tesouros" was released for the Atari 2600—the same console that brought us Pitfall!, which initially inspired Tadeu to create his iconic game.
