I like that guess, but sadly, no, not B.J. Blazkowicz.

*boots up original 2d _Castle Wolfenstein_ from 5.25" floppy on Apple //e*

Mario?

We have established that this character did not first appear in a Japanese video game.

Mario was created by Nintendo, Japan.

It's definitely not Mario, Damo.

wtf do I know about shit like that, I'm old.

The original Castle Wolfenstein game was really impressive at the time.

Would they be considered a video game mascot?

This question still needs an answer I think.

It does! Somehow I missed that one, sorry about that.

I would say the answer is no, this character is not considered a video game mascot.

1. Fictional
2. English speaking
3. Did not first appear in a printed medium
4. Male
5. Created in 20th or 21st century.
6. Not originally from a tv show.
7. Not from the spheres of sci-fi, fantasy, or super-heroism.
8. Human
9. Did not first appear in a movie
10. First appeared in a video game
11. First appeared before the year 2000
12. Not from a Japanese video game
13. Not a video game mascot


NOT: Mario (Damo 666)
NOT: BJ Blazkowicz (Jamiett99uk)

I have already guessed, but I was thinking it could be Duke Nukem, but I think this rules him out, as having a game named for you pretty much makes you a mascot...

Surely the Duke Nukem series is "sci-fi", no?

<Shrug> I think there is a lot of gray area in video/arcade games. Wolfenstein veers pretty clearly into the supernatural, so...

Would agree that there could be gray areas with certain games... but I'll just go ahead and state here that you're not looking for Duke Nukem, given that I am considering that series sci-fi as noted above.
