Published by Christian at 6:59 pm

If the characters had never existed previously, it’s more than likely that if video game characters resembling a fat, Italian plumber in overalls and a random elf-like boy in a green tunic were conjured up today, the world wouldn’t notice.

1UP.com has written a feature looking at what it is that’s kept these characters alive and kicking for so long. Head on over to give it a read, it’s about 2 pages long.
