In 1984, "Pac-Land" took the scrolling platformer a step further, aspiring to be more than a simple game of hurdle jumping. It was not only a successful title, but it more closely resembled later scrolling platformers like "Wonder Boy" and "Super Mario Bros". It also featured multi-layered parallax scrolling. That same year saw the release of "Legend of Kage", which offered levels that extended in all directions. Sega released "Flicky", a simple platformer with horizontally scrolling levels that featured their first mascot character. Namco followed up "Pac-Land" with the fantasy-themed "Dragon Buster" the following year.
