    It’s called rage batting for a reason.

      Just to play devil’s advocate: Mario is without a doubt the oldest recognizable character that still has some modern appearances. You can’t really take pong and some shitty mobile game as a comparison.

        I think Pac Man is the oldest, but only by a year.

          It gets very blurry in the early days of video games. Ahoy made a great video about just that, actually: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQ4WCU1WQc&pp=ygUYYWhveSBlYXJsaWVzdCB2aWRlbyBnYW1l

          Basically, there’s earlier games than pacman, but what actually constitutes a video game starts to become a much less trivial question.

        He’s probably aware that he’s doing something. And whatever that is means he’s getting views and that’s all that matters.

    Kids man… I remember back in the day being asked to review a gaming site a young’un was trying to get off the ground and I had to correct them that Mario was NOT created by Atari and man, they were ADAMANT.

    Their evidence?

    Funny because it’s NES (1983/85) Mario over a N64 (1996/97) controller. Idiots

      I guarantee you that N64 controller is the wireless reissue for the Nintendo Switch and not a real genuine N64 controller that plugs into an N64.

    I don’t give these guys any clicks.

    I played these games when I was a kid (80’s):

    Speed Race

    Tank

    The games were still being played more than 10 years later and they had copycat versions floating around.
