Video Game Characters & Games

Remember the days of the old arcades where you had classics like Pac Man, Ninja Turtles arcade, Final Fight, etc. Those were some good times for me. Not to mention all the different game systems I've played at home such as Nintendo, Sege, Playstation and so on. There's been many great characters on games such as Mario, Sonic, Jill Valentine, and so many more. 

Some of my favorite games have been earlier Mario and Sonic games, Resident Evil games, some Sims, Wrestling games, and some RPG games. What are some of your favorite video games? Also post any video game character or game pictures and gifs.
