Cannot believe that anyone has mentioned yet the little indian from Magical Tree! He is really a cute character.

Apart from that one, probably Jack the Nipper. By the way, if you haven't played the second part, give it a chance! Perfect platforms game with huge graphics smoothly animated!

How could I forgot my 2nd prefered one? He is the guy from Knight Lore. Don`t know his name, or if he has one.

There is also the main character from La abadia del Crímen for MSX2.

Ah yes, I could go on and on but let's see who's nominated most...

rite ... I bet most of us are just making a list with random characters no-one knows... how I'm suppose to give proper points?

it'll prolly go like:
2 1
1 2
2 1
1 2
2 1
etc. for any combi no-one ever heard of

wolf_: Nah, something like 'Thomas Cadds' vs. 'Solid Snake' would of course be like
0 - 3; Solid Snake - Thomas Cadds

I mean, is there anyone on earth who doesn't know TC? Who's that Solid Snake figure btw?

with Snake, you name a known character.. I'm referring to a combi of 2 unknown names .. and I forsee a *lot* of such combinations, because there're a lot of names ppl prolly don't know

Well, they will drop out sooner or later anyway, as known characters will probably be preferred over unknown.
