    I guess I have a bit of a random assortment to span genres but it would be something like Kane from the command and conquer series, Jin from tekken, Halo 3 era master chief and witcher 3’s geralt

    Mario and Sonic are the top two on my list. They would probably be the two names that are most well known in the video game world. Pac Man would be third just cause of the longevity. Last is tougher but I may go with Pikachu. I mean late 90s you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing him. Even now everyone knows Pikachu.

    Mario from 64, Link from Ocarina up,MegaMan I guess, such us weird because I don’t play many MegaMan games but he popped into my mind Eden I thought of iconic characters, and probably Samus?

      MegaMan is on there for me too but I can’t think of any in the series I really enjoyed aside from MM2.
