Is Avenging Spirit the first game that features a possession gameplay mechanic?
I was recently playing an old arcade game named Avenging Spirit that has a main character that is kind of similar to Nintendo's Kirby. It features a "possession" game mechanic, where the player can take full control of almost any enemy, and control them.
Is this the earliest game with such gameplay mechanic?
