Are you a gamer? Who would you name as the “Most Popular video game characters?” I have a LONG history with video games. Our first console was the Odessy. It came out just before Atari (which is why my parents wouldn’t buy me an Atari, dammit). The Odessy sucked next to Atari, but when we first got it, my sister, Mary, and I were SUPER EXCITED to play bowling and basketball in all its 8 BIT glory. I played Tapper on the Commodore 64. Loading games took FOREVER. The games loaded into the computer off of CASSETTE TAPES, I kid you not children. Then came floppy discs, so it all only took NEXT TO FOREVER for games to load.
My first true love of video gaming platforms was the Playstation. South Park Rally got me through some winter months and early motherhood when my daughter was a baby and still sleeping a lot. When the PS2 came out, I knew we NEEDED it. My daughter, Mackenzie, and I played Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights. It’s still one of my all-time favorite games. We liked the storyline games… I still do, but since the introduction of multiplayer online games, the storyline games don’t seem to be as popular. I asked people on social media to “Name a famous video game character.” Here are the top 5 responses.
