Surely he's not better than Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson.
Bo knows blues
Oddjob in goldeneye....kthx.
SNAKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when was he in Madden?? I know he tried out and was cut... but he made the game?
like 2 years ago, he was in the game before the update with the roster cuts were made.
I'm sorry but people in sports games don't count as characters.
besides, Mario is the best video game character ever. He and Sonic shared a game cover once and it was EPIC.
This guy...

Or the 4x1 block from Tetris.
I'd have to say Mario or Sonic, both of them have been in so many games...or Link(To a lesser degree, cause each game its not the same Link or anything)
the pong ball ftw.
Mario beats out Sonic, because Mario can fucking do anything...Olympic sports? He can do it! Baseball? He can do it! Tennis? He can do it! You name a sport, that bastard has played it. Also, he has a whole bunch of games dedicated to him!
Plus, Link is awesome and is my favorite character. But Mario is Mario.

1. They obviously don't count because they are pixellated characters in a video game, right? ;)
2. Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson transcends the traditional "sports" character because of his sheer dominance. The programmers were just a bit too generous with his abilities and he went on to be unstoppable.
More because they're depictions of real life people the vast majority of the time and sports games don't exactly give a lot of scope for given players or w/e to have a personality. Characters are creations - like Mario or Sonic, not real people that are in games.

Just for the record my friend it was Tecmo Superbowl the sequel and Ian's all time favourite game
it was also dubbed 'Tecmo Bo'
Lets also not forget Jackson will have appeared in a ton of baseball, football related games and also had Bo Jackson;s Baseball, Bo Jackson's Hit and Run which was a double game.
I am a massive Bo Jackson fan....and here for my buddy Hondo is a little stroll down memory lane...

Obviously the power pellets distort reality and turn the ghosts into corporeal form, and being high on psychotropic drugs and being chased around a sadistic labyrinth by spectres trying to steal his soul, Pacman's obvious response to this is to hunt down and cannibalise his tormentors out of a sense of retributive and poetic justice.
Or maybe it's just because it's a game.

Thank goodness for that last sentence, I thought you were Cliff for a second there. ;)
