Racing Destruction Set (C-64) had a track editor and you could save your tracks on a seperate disk, to share with friends.

Etoile Princess is pretty good, too. And of course the Castlevania game.

I don't know about that. Have you played Miner 2049er? It was released between 1982-1983 on various platforms, including the C-64 and Colecovision.

No one who actually played Miner 2049er would ever call it a "Donkey Kong clone."
Both had ladders and platforms, but that's where the similarities end.
Unlike DK, where the goal is to simply reach the top, Miner 2049er requires you to traverse every surface of the level. To do this you have to trigger elevators, use teleporters, manipulate cherry pickers, fire Bounty Bob out of cannons, and use other strange devices.
Miner 2049er is a far better game than DK, incidentally.

Don't forget the unbelieveably awesome sequel, Bounty Bob Strikes Back, which had 25 levels.
The original programmer, Bill Hogue, has written a free, Windows-compatible, self-contained emulator that runs Bounty Bob Strikes Back here. Check it out, if you haven't already.

It came to mind but it's from 1985 while Excitebike is from 1984. It's still cool though.Originally Posted by gamevet
Ah, of course. I figured I would have missed some big ones. Thanks.Originally Posted by kingpong
I'm not seeing the puzzle side to Miner 2049'er either. Also, the arguable puzzle/platformer I mentioned earlier(The Castles of Dr. Creep) might be a different first: having a tutorial level. This question was asked at the insertcredit forums a few weeks ago and it was the earliest tutorial level I could think of. Like everything else, it wouldn't surprise me if there's an earlier one though.
