Bionic Commando (for the NES -- the arcade version's no good). A platformer that replaces jumping with a kind of mechanical grappling hook.
It was really well-received at the time. I'm kinda amazed that, with the rise of the tough-as-nails retro platformer, nobody's revived it. (There was a 2009 game that's some kind of weird FPS.)
