The common word “PITFALL” is hundreds of years old. Originates from about the 14th century. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A VIDEO GAME FROM 80S.
First : the game you’re thinking about is called “Pitfall!” (exclamation mark). There’s actually another game called just Pitfall. Because it’s a common word and there’s a bunch of completely unrelated works (games, movies and music) using it.

Bonus round : look at all the shit Jonathan Blow adapted when he made “The Witness” in 2016:
Almost looks like the Myst guy falling.
A Myst movie would have potential.
A movie of the first game and then a streaming series that dives into the novels and the sequels.
I’m gonna play it again. Thanks for reminding me. It’s been decades since I last beat it so I don’t remember any of the answers to the puzzles. I can go into fresh.
Theres a remaster of it now, too :)
Can’t wait for the Tetris Movie.
It came out in 2023
