Tom Boy is a complete copy of the game Pitfall, which was released the same year by Activision. It replicates not only the lack of story but every other aspect of the original as well. The clone is so bold that it outright steals the entire gameplay, sprites, and animations. At Quelle, Rainbow Vision’s audaciousness (original title Tom Boy) didn’t seem to deter anyone, as the game was included in their German Atari catalog that same year under the title Dschungel Boy.Loony Balloon

Frogs
1978
Frogs is a single-player action / platform arcade game released by Sega-Gremlin in 1978. It is the first video game with a jumping character (predating Donkey Kong by 3 years), which by some definitions could make it the first platform game. The player controls a frog on lily pads and attempts to catch (with the frog's tongue and while jumping) various insects (butterflies and dragonflies) worth different amounts of points in a set amount of time. Frogs is one of the first arcade games to include a static background as part of the arcade cabinet.[citation needed] The game’s graphics are "projected" by laying the monitor flat on its back and reflecting the computer-generated graphics of the frogs and flies toward the player via a mirror at a 45-degree angle. (The game’s graphics were actually generated and shown backward, so the mirror reflection would show letters and numbers properly.)
