Yosaku © 1979 SNK [Shin Nihon Kikaku].
A woodcutter cuts down trees while being attacked by animals. There are three trees in the arcade version, and two trees in all other versions. The woodcutter can evade danger by jumping straight up, or by attacking the animals with his axe. The dangers are: a boar charges across the screen, snakes pop out of the ground, the trees drop branches, and the birds fly over and drop excrement.
This is said to be SNK's first arcade game.
