Nicole McCallister Is an archaeologist who goes in search of her father who went searching for El Dorado.
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition[]
Harry's love interest and eventual girlfriend, Nicole is an attractive bookworm/archaeologist who came to the jungle to look for her father Kevin. She enlists in the help of an evil shaman named Pusca, who helped her find the temple where her father was last seen. Upon finding his lifeless body, Nicole becomes distraught and desperately searches for a loophole that will bring Kevin back. She is comforted by Harry, who sends her back to base camp, where she goes missing. Later, she returns to the Gate of El Dorado, and along with Harry and Micay, she places the artifacts in their slots and opens the gate before stealing them and revealing that she made a deal with the sorcerer Pusca: if she opened the gate, he was going to send her back six months in time to save her father. She is unaware that Pusca has no more use for her now and kills her before taking Micay and the artifacts through the time portal, and Harry goes in after them. After getting the magical powers from one of Micay's butterflies and defeating Pusca, Harry returns to the present, where her body lay. Using the same magic powers, he holds her, kisses her and brings her back to life, and the two are seen kissing at the very end of the game.
Character description from Manual[]
Beautiful and reserved, Nicole is something of a bookworm. She has limited practical knowledge of the world outside of her academic studies. Interest in the natural world has been the driving force in her life. She can quote chapter and verse on various flora and fauna even thought she has never actually seen them in the flesh. Will she treat Harry like a thorn in her side or will she accept his help? It all depends on Harry's conduct. I'm sure he won't let us down.
Trivia[]
- There is a running gag throughout the game in which she becomes more scantily clad throughout the game. until she is only wearing a cropped tank top and short-shorts. This is presumably an homage to Lara Croft
- Nicole is playable by using a cheat code as the Nicole at the end of the game, it is more a skin during gameplay. When playable she still sounds like Harry and has the same animations as she does not have any grunts or other voice lines made for this cheat, she is more so just a skin. When playing as Nicole in cutscenes, no character model will appear, only Harry's voice and every other character's animations/character model acts as per the usual of the cutscenes. This is because the cutscenes were not made with this cheat in mind so no character model or animations happen, so when using the Nicole skin no character model is visible, it is just an empty space while the other characters play out in cutscenes how they are supposed to and Harry's voice plays.
