Very close... you got questions 1, 3 & 4 correct....

Question 2 is based on Donkey Kong but there was something very unique about this game when it was released i.e. there was something groundbreaking about this game that had never been done in any other game prior to this -

Question 5 Space Invaders was licensed to Atari in 1980 and they made a version for there home console system (the 2600) and subsequent arcade games, but the original 1978 version was developed and published by another company

Still I think Nemisis deserves 400 tokens (esp for the Pac Man Answer)...

200 tokens to the first person who can answer question 2 & 5.

Dunno 5.

My guess for No.2 is Donkey Kong was the first game to introduce levels of playing.
