Name that game character

[Manga]

This link shows a game character.

Correctly identify the character and you win. Then post a picture challenge of your own, to keep this game going.

That's Q-bert

My submission: http://www.flyingomelette.com/reviews/nes/screens/srnrlevel1.gif

The difficulty here is finding a URL that doesn't give it away.

[Disch]

That's Rattle of Snake Rattle & Roll.

I'm going to step up the difficulty a bit here (hopefully I won't kill the game =P ):

Tip for getting around URL problem, reupload to imgur.

[Manga]

Correct, but I can't get the link you posted to work on my end.

[Disch]

Here's another (easier) one in case my last one was too difficult:

note: name of the character, not the game.

@ Disch: If you're going to jump right to NPC's then we at least need a platform as a hint. That's a good point about the URL thing.

Fair enough.

Hint 1: Super Famicom (SNES)
Hint 2: From the "Mana" series
Hint 3: "The Dragon" for one of the final bosses (not a literal dragon... but the trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDragon )

Hint 4: Fill in the blanks:

_ _ _ _ _     J _ _ _ _ _

@Disch

That was Pit from Kid Icarus I believe.

But I don't know your hard one.

[Disch]

That was Pit from Kid Icarus I believe.

Yay. Correct.

The hard one is pretty hard... unless you've played the game, of course (which everyone should -- the game is amazing)

I won't be surprised if no one gets it. I'll add hint 4 to that post.


EDIT doesn't that make it your turn, Manga? You guessed Pit correctly. I don't think we should hold up waiting for someone to get my crazy one.

[Manga]

Okay then...

This link reveals the game but can you name that character...

Edit: The hero not the monsters...

[Disch]

The hero of Castlevania 1 (...and 2... and 4) is Simon Belmont, of course.

What about the hero from Ninja Gaiden:

The first name is acceptable. Last name not required.

[Computergeek01]

Ryu Hyabusa of the Dragon Clan. I'm drawing a blank for my next question though.

[Computergeek01]

@DTSCode: I think that's Tingle, but I can't remember which version of Zelda he is from.

[Dy7SLyTq]

well that was meant for your submission but yes your right.

[Computergeek01]

Well now I feel stupid ... I thought that was a pretty good one to, I wouldn't have guessed if my little sister wasn't such a huge fan of the series.

[long double main]

According to the wikis, Tingle first appeared in Majora's Mask.

I'm wondering how many of you will get this one:

has anyone else noticed the second marine in the background of the DOOM box art? Is there a story behind that? Also, all of the demons seem to have a big wide smile. I didn't notice that back in the 90s.

I know that one, but the name itself is spoilers, since the plot of the game is you having amnesia and rediscovering what you were doing in that place.

Therefore I won't post it here. Though I will say it starts with a Q.

EDIT: also... nice one. That's another great game that everyone should play.
