no doubt it was only grannys that participated on that debate then :/ tsk, they forgot all the ff characters, Grim Fandango, dott (day of the tentacle) and all the other adventure games i care not to mention :/

*sobs*

 

[ReActor]

A surprise entry in the top 10 was Harry Potter, who came in at number eight weeks before the official Harry Potter game for PlayStation, Game Boy and PC is launched.

Well that just goes to fucking show you the kind of people they are talking to.

 

[old.kim]

What bastards.

Mr Do! was/is far superior to pacman.

Still the office fave by a mile on our Friday afternoon sessions

(we all have MAME installed)

 

[old.ignus]

Ok as we're all oldschool gamers why don't we all make our own top ten characters as they obviously asked young impressionably children and their parents.
I'll do mine when I think of it.

[old.ignus]

Sephiroth - ff7
or Kain - legacy of kain

 

[Wij]

Duke Nukem, Wonderboy and Mario ?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

george stobart - the broken sword games. allthough i hear they're making a 3rd game, and updating it to fit in with the modern gaming scene. this can be read as 'turning the lead charecter into mean looking spy type bloke'. should the do this, i wont buy the game

Guybrush Threepwood

 

[Summo]

Awww yeah! Guybrush Threepwood!

 

[Wij]

/edit: Oh Summo, plz relpy in RTS forum, thx

 

[Summo]

Tasteh ladee! A first generation Lara Croft?

Maybe no.

You are rubber! I am glue!

/edit: Dunnit!

 

[Wij]

Oooh, Rubber Tree

 

[Summo]

Heh heh heh. I remember when I first encountered that when you fall off the cliff and the message pops up saying 'You have died. Restart from a saved game' but there is no save game feature. I was mighty pissed off until Guybrush springs back up again and says 'rubber tree!'

At least, I think that's what happened.

 

[old.ignus]

apparantly you can actually die in MI 1 if you stay under the water for longer than 10 minutes. Did anybody else do the starwars obi wan kenobi line in the curse of monkey island.
Did you also know that the guy who does the voice for LeChuck plays the unbelieving doctor in the terminator and T2 Dr Siberman or something.

Just full of useless crap ain't I?

 

[bodhi]

Errrrrrrrr....PacMan was a fucking institution, twats

 

[old.ignus]

pacman was made by a guy in an institution more like.
A yellow circle goes around swallowing pills and if he gets the right pill he gets to chase ghosts.
They ought to update it, and turn it into a FPs or something, or am I talking bollocks again?

which by some strange fate is exactly where you should be

 

[Perplex]

You're not the q2.uk kan are you?

 

[Perplex]

Oh, and you're perfectly correct of course, I do. However, doesn't change the fact that pacman is the father of all modern computer games
