Wow, your username finally makes sense. You're playing Tetris and need the long one, "Sweet, square!" you shout as it appears at the top of your screen, and then it becomes clear you always struggled with your shapes growing up.

Having a hard time looking past this myself. Lara Croft wouldn't even get in the top 10 imo.

Looking at the full list though I'm assuming Zoomers were highly represented in the voting because there are a lot of recent games in there.
Absolutely.

To be fair, I think you could say the same about Lara Croft and I wouldn't be surprised if more people knew her because of those Lucozade commercials back in the day than through the Tomb Raider games. She was marketed heavily in the 90s.To be fair, she did transcend gaming into mainstream consciousness in a way that few gaming characters have managed. It's easy for gamers to laugh at the list, but ask a non-gamer for their top 5 and nobody is picking Ryu, Master Chief, Kratos or Solid Snake.
I'd argue Mario and Sonic are more iconic, and perhaps Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot and Link are all as iconic as her. But you'd be hard pressed to argue for many others.
Pikachu is more iconic as well, but Pokemon was more than just a video game for a lot of people. I know Tomb Raider, Sonic and Mario have movies now as well, but those all came later. For many, Pikachu became iconic long before they played, or even without ever having played the games.
I didn'tWe all lost our masturbatory virginity to Lara Croft.
Well who did you lose it too?I didn't

Adriano was always rubbish for me.
Haha yes! Inter Milan were the ultimate side. Obafemi Martins with 99 speed and Adriano with 99 shot power. Probably my favourite ever football game.
Decent shout tbf
