Nintendo
In 1975, Nintendo moved into the video arcade game industry with "EVR Race", designed by their first game designer, Genyo Takeda, and several more games followed. Nintendo had some small success with this venture, but the release of "Donkey Kong" in 1981, designed by Miyamoto, changed Nintendo's fortunes dramatically. The success of the game and many licensing opportunities (such as ports on the Atari 2600, Intellivision and ColecoVision) gave Nintendo a huge boost in profit and in addition, the game also introduced an early iteration of Mario, then known in Japan as Jumpman, the eventual company mascot.
Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992
The rules are the same as the 1991 version except with three Super NES minigames. The first minigame of the competition is "Super Mario World", where players must collect 50 coins (very similar to "Nintendo World Championships" 1990's first minigame, "Super Mario Bros."). The second game is a version of "F-Zero" where players must complete two laps. The final minigame is "Pilotwings" where players must land on two targets successfully. Once time does expire, a player's score was totaled using the following formula:There are only two known "1992 Campus Challenge" cartridges. One was found at the same New York City garage sale by Rob Walters as the 1991 cartridge. The cartridge is owned by a video game collector named Rick Bruns. The second one was found in an attic of a former employee of a company who did projects for Nintendo. Nintendo sent the cartridge to the company along with systems and other games.
