Jungle King aka "Jungle Hunt"

In the summer of 1982, Taito released Jungle King to the arcades, but was quickly met with lawsuit and had to change the game to Jungle Hunt. Not only is this classic remembered for that little uh-oh, but it was the first game to introduce players to parallax scrolling, with the player jumping over enemies. Hmm...sounds familiar.
