Video game character A
video game character is a
fictional character appearing in a
video game or computer game. It is useful to distinguish player-controlled
player character s and computer-controlled
non-player character s.
In the early days of gaming, most characters were little more than generic figures with little in the way of personality, depth, or likability. The first game character to gain massive popularity was
Mario in the 1980s.[
1 ] With Mario began the concept of the "game mascot," the idea that a character could become representative of a game company while being marketable to a wide audience. In the years since, many game characters have become bona-fide pop-culture phenomena.
