A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Gold Miner Special Edition is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That gives Gold Miner Special Edition a little more company than it first appears to have.
