There are level editors that predate it(Lode Runner, maybe Galactic Gladiators) but I can't think of any for driving/racing games.Originally Posted by Mzo
I would say the first boss in a game would be the Golden Dragon in mainframe game dnd(around 1974-1975).
Phoenix was certainly a big moment. I think the shooter Ozma Wars(SNK, arcade, 1979) had bosses too from what I remember although they aren't very large in size. Good call on Kung Fu Master for its structure.
That's shaping up nicely. I think Frogs(Gremlin, arcade, 1978) deserves a mention. I consider it a "proto-platformer" of sorts. It involves jumping although you can't jump to multiple elevated platforms.Originally Posted by Frogacuda
