The first videogame to combine platforming and puzzle-solving was Koichi Nakamura's Door Door, released in 1983 for the NEC PC-8801 home computer. In it, players were challenged with helping a round animal with a basketball hat named Chun strategically trap aliens behind doors in a multi-levelled environment.
Koichi Nakamura would go on to co-create the popular Dragon Quest series of RPG videogames with Yukinobu Chida, popularizing another videogame genre.
Door Door came to the Famicom console in 1985.
