killamch89 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 During the golden age of arcades, certain characters became icons who leapt off the screen and into our imaginations. For me, Pac‑Man will always reign supreme - the simplicity of chasing dots while escaping ghosts encapsulates pure fun. But there are so many memorable faces: Donkey Kong’s towering presence, the Space Invaders alien horde, or Dig Dug’s plucky underground hero armed with nothing but a pump. Who stands out for you?

Scorpion Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 My favorite classic arcade game character is Pac-Man. I love his simple design and how he navigates the maze, eating dots and avoiding ghosts. He's such an iconic figure, instantly bringing back memories of fun times at the arcade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Ms. Pac-Man revolutionized female representation in early gaming - she wasn't just a palette swap but had her own distinct personality with that iconic red bow, lipstick, and beauty mark. Her game introduced storytelling cutscenes showing her relationship with Pac-Man, making her gaming's first character with an actual romantic arc.
