So this dragon(or chicken) was the first monster in video game world?

Wow ,at that time i think something like this must be very amazing. :D

I don't think it was the first, but one of the first

Adventure is on occasion described as the "spiritual forerunner" of Zelda and Final Fantasy, yeah it was amazing at the time, only text based action-adventure games existed before Adventure

Such a thing is probably lost to time... as i believe most early videogames were never released to the mass public, just made by people who could program for the hell of it.

So it's probably some random monster that nobody but a nerd and his friends new about.

I'm gonna hope it was Frankenstein though.
