English Amiga Board - View Single Post - What's the first game that let you play as the bad guy?

Writing an article on the Superman game for the Amiga I came across 'Superman: The Game' for the C64 (and other systems). That was released in 1985 and let's you optionally play as the supervillain who terrorises the citizens of Metropolis, which got me wondering if that's the earliest example of this. Any other contenders?
