If it’s the most famous 4, I’m going with PAC-MAN, Mario, the T-block from Tetris, and Pikachu.

For my personal favourite 4, it’s Tommy Angelo, Arthur Morgan, Scorpion, and the Daytona Hornet.

My Skyrim character for sure

Mario- Most iconic pure gaming character

Pac Man- icon, innovator of laying groundwork for many gaming elements/subcultures

Sub-Zero- Fighting genre representation, Mortal Kombat at the heart of the Senate hearings/cliches that led to the ESRB's creation

Arthur Morgan- Modern "gaming as art" representative (Kratos and his world revolves so heavily around Greek/Nordic mythology and Geralt was a popular book character first/the Netflix adaptation is based on the books, not game)

Fallout Power Armor Helmet Guy
Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Harrier Du Bois
Marcus Fenix
Isaac (of "Binding of Isaac" fame. Also the bible, I guess)

Doesn't the Mt. Rushmore question limit it to 4?

PAC-MAN - The first mascot. Hall of Famer. Icon.
MARIO - I think this one needs no introduction.
SONIC - A rival appears!

After that, I'm actually not sure. Lara Croft is a contender. Doom Marine? I guess Master Chief and Kratos could be tossed into the mix, but I'm less sure. The gaming landscape exploded upon the PS1's arrival. There's so many franchises and characters.

I agree with list, I wanna add Geralt of Rivia, Commander Sheppard and Solid Snake

[–] cwx149@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'd go Mario, Steve (from minecraft), Master Chief, Kratos

[–] Nickmorgan19457@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Snake, Sonic, Gordon Freeman, and the annoying Tetris block

[–] SpicyJellyGem@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yoshi, a Tetris block, the wise old man from RuneScape, and toad. Not the character from Mario, just like a regular toad.

[–] B12C10X8@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Arthur Morgan

Kratos

Solid Snake

Batman (Arkham Games)

[–] MajaMystic256@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mario (Most Iconic Platformer Character)

Doom Guy (Most Iconic FPS Character)

Either Cloud Strife or Pikachu (Most Iconic RPG Character)

Either Ryu or Scorpion or Sub Zero (Most Iconic Fighting Game Character)

I'd wanna capture several eras, and I'd want them all to be game changers.

I think I'd pick Pac-Man, Mario, CJ and Steve. Claude may be a better pick than CJ because GTA3 is the gake changer, but he's just not as iconic

[–] ILLPISSONMITCHsGRAVE@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pac-Man, Mario, a Tetris Block, OG Link, and Ryu.

Probably the two rectangles playing against each other in pong, still trying to find the lore🤔
