The Berlin Wall (also known as Berlin no Kabe (ベルリンの壁)) is a 1-2 player platform arcade video game released by Kaneko in 1991; two years after the fall of the actual Berlin Wall. A wall was made post-World War II, separating the country of Germany. However, the people of Germany despised it and now the player gets to destroy it. They take control of a young boy who must use his hammer to break the blocks that form part of the platform levels that create each stage. These holes act as falling traps for the many patrolling, multi-coloured monsters and once one has fallen into a hole, the player may then use the hammer on the monster to make it fall through the hole and down to the platform below – causing it to transform into fruit or power-ups, which can then be collected and used.

This game bears a number of similarities to Space Panic, a game generally considered as the first platform video game.
