Spelunker by Tim Martin and Micro GraphicImage is famous the world over for its hero's inability to handle a fall any further than his kneecaps. It's had numerous ports and reimaginings, even to modern platforms, and has quite a following in Japan -- but as with so many popular games, it has its origins on the humble Atari 8-bit!
