recognize most of them, never played a game with any of them. I don't have to feel super old until the 90s list comes out
My #1 is link! #2 is mega man then at #3 I'd have Mario.

what's incredible about watchmojo is that they used the same dialog for the most memorable video game character…which was Mario again…but yeah…they did it with pacman to
Mario
can you make a list of top 10 games that you can play over and over without getting boring?
Q*Bert!
little mac
Failed to mention that Mario first appeared in Donkey Kong before he got his own series.
Pacman is more iconic than Link? Now that is somehing
Bomberman. Really? Pitfall Harry was totally snubbed. Everyone who owned an Atari knew that guy!
Also, most of the Donkey Kong clips were from the Country series, which is from the '90s.
Samus Should Be No.5!
Haven't watched but let me guess a few of these:
Samus
Pac-Man
Donkey Kong Jr.
Ice climbers????
Pauline???
Donkey Kong
Ganondorf
Yoshi
Link
Mario
E.T
My 3 favorites are Super Mario, Pac-Man, and Frogger.
Why is Alex Kidd not on this list?
nobody cares about dirk
If Mario is number one…
No Luige once again -,- he's a number one
I bet master cheif is 3 sonic is 2 and Mario is 1.
Damn great list these are the best video game characters of the 1980s!!!
Speaking of robots, whoever can name the game Quote, the robot with the red cap comes from, then I'll say hi to them 🙂

I've heard of Frogger, Pac-man, Donkey Kong, and Mario. I prefer Donkey Kong and Mario.
