I love Nintendo but it's a little funny that they essentially got their true start in video games (outside of game and watch) with a game that quite obviously ripped off King Kong. :p

King Kong was public domain by that time, as proven in Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo. Nintendo not only won at both the trial and appellate levels in that case, but they also won a countersuit they filed against Universal.
