Space Panic Space Panic (スぺース・パ二ック , Supesu Panikku ) is a 1980 arcade game designed by Universal Entertainment Corporation, which Chris Crawford called "the granddaddy of all platform games," as it predates Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" (from 1981) which is often cited as the original platform game. "Space Panic" lacks "Donkey Kong"'s jump mechanic and the main character instead digs holes in the platforms into which he must lure the aliens. He must then hit them to knock them out of the hole and off the screen. In later levels, two or more holes must be lined up vertically in order to dispose of the aliens. There is also a limited supply of oxygen.
