Pit Pot (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Sega Enterprises, Ltd.
Publisher: Sega Enterprises, Ltd.
Released: 1986

Pit Pot is an action-adventure title that was released as part of a two-game compilation with Astro Warrior.

+ Has a similar exploratory vibe to The Legend of Zelda (1987, NES) and each room has excellent stage design.

+ Rather than being a smash-a-thon, the gameplay forces you to think methodically to avoid falling to your doom.

+ Difficulty options not only increase the challenge, they also boost the number of screens and introduce new enemy types.

- Cryptically, the action relies on blindly bashing every single block to uncover hidden items that are required to succeed.

- Hammer has a slow animation reset after hitting a gray block, which isn't ideal when you need to make another quick attack.

- Backtracking is a chore in tougher difficulties due to the unvaried scenery, and the short music loop can get tedious.

- PAL release doesn't include the Edit mode found in the Japanese version where you can design your own screens.
