Can You Name These Classic Game Characters?

I’m sure they’re in your childhood memories somewhere.

With the release of the new Doom game last week, Doom Eternal, I have to take a moment to marvel at how far the gaming industry has come since the late 80s. The original Doom guy was just some random marine shootin’ demons, now he’s a force of vengeance with a dagger strapped to his arm. Both incarnations of the character are cool, it’s just interesting how much has changed.

Back in the heyday of the early console wars, developers were chugging out mascot-centric games left and right. Everyone wanted to be either the Doom marine or Mario, and not all of them made the cut into the modern era. Still, even if their games didn’t endure, those classic characters will always have a place in our heart for the warm memories they were party to.

I can identify most classic characters and mascots on sight. Let’s see if you can say the same.
