GUESS DONKEY KONG FROM SCREENSHOTS
Shigeru Miyamoto's 1981 arcade breakthrough introduced both Mario, then called Jumpman, and his barrel-hurling ape rival. Climbing girders and leaping hazards to rescue Pauline established storytelling through level design. The game rescued Nintendo's American arcade business and launched the most famous character in video games.
