Favorite long-time video game character?
A video game character that's been around for a few years or more.

This guy appeared back in 1998.



And is still going strong.

3. Well,
the first one came out in Japan in 1987 and the US in 1990. XII is the next one, which should be out sometime this year. But my favorites (VI to VIII) came out between 94-99.

27. PipBoy from "Fallout"
Granted not a 'true character' from the game (noon playable), but more like a mascot. He appaeared in games spoof of '50's training films' and comics

33. Bentley Bear from Crystal Castles.


You couldn't tear me away from this game in the early 80s.

Second would be Dig Dug, which I still play to this day.
