video shrine.. ^^, favorite video game characters.. Options

[DivA]

video games are known to bring joy & fond memories, from the vast mmorpg to the classic fighter to the 2d/3d platform & so on; but over time ~ many character designs come & go, but only a handful are treasured as inspirational (in persona, style & look..). a samurai perhaps, or a mech, perhaps an unknown or even a magic-user of legend?

so here's my thought of the moment ~ which video game character(s) have you admired over the years & which game(s) do they originate from?

Dirk the Daring! HA! That wasn't a "game". It was a movie with a joystick. (could ya tell that I sucked at it?)

My most fond video game character memory is of the blue blur known as Sonic. Not Tails. Not Knuckles. Not Amy. Sonic. Granted I owned a few systems before the Genesis, but when I first saw Sonic and the world he ran thru, and the speed! I was floored. I used to play for hours and hours. My girlfriend (my wife now) would come over and we'd sit on the floor and have a blast. She'd be yelling at me, "RUN! JUMP!! WATCH OUT!" In fact, she still does that to me today. I still have a place in my heart for Sonic. When all those toys came out during the Dreamcast years, I snagged them all up as fast as I could. Hell, I would even have the bed sheets if my wife would let me. HA!
Yep, hands down. Sonic still makes me smile.
