Parachute (1981) has the player move a boat side to side to rescue parachuters before they fall into the water, while seagulls try to knock them down mid-descent, in a design that's simple but tense. It's an early and little-remembered piece of Nintendo's arcade catalog prior to Donkey Kong, interesting as an example of the ideas the company tried out before establishing itself as a video game giant.
