The video gaming community is somewhat of a subculture worldwide, that has its own icons. These icons aren't household names all the time, unless of course you're talking about a character from the game itself. Each system brought forth different characters to revere, until recently when everything seems to be a reboot of the good old days. Nintendo brought us Mario and Luigi, then of course Sega Genesis gave us Sonic the Hedgehog. PlayStation went on to give us Crash Bandicoot and Lara Croft. These names are as widely known and recognized in pop culture as many people's favorite entertainers and athletes.
