2. Sonic the hedgehog
Developed as a replacement for their existing Alex Kidd mascot, as
well as Sega's response to Mario, his first appearance was in the
first game of the Sonic series, Sonic the Hedgehog, for the Mega
Drive, also known as the Genesis in North America. Sonic's greatest
ability is his running speed, and he is known as the world's fastest
hedgehog. Using the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, he can
become Super Sonic, and achieve even greater speeds. He is a blue
hedgehog fighting against an evil villain called Dr. Egg man. Can be
interpreted as a cool character to children. Sonic’s personality
reveals a cool modern hedgehog who acts like a human being. His
power of speed is what I like most about him

3. Super Mario
Super Mario is a 1985 platform video game
character developed by Nintendo, published for
the Nintendo Entertainment System as a pseudo-
sequel to the 1983 game Mario Bros. It is the first
of the Super Mario series of games. In Super
Mario Bros., the player controls Mario and in a
two-player game, a second player controls Mario's
brother Luigi as he travels through the Mushroom
Kingdom in order to rescue Princess Toadstool
from the antagonist Bowser. Super mario had a lot
of levels to play through which is why I like the
game.

4. Pokémon
Pokémon is a media franchise published and owned by Japanese video game
company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996. Originally released
as a pair of interlink able Game Boy role-playing video games developed by
Game Freak, Pokémon has since become the second-most successful and
lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only
Nintendo's own Mario franchise. Pokémon properties have since been
merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other
media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006, and as of 28
May 2010 (2010 -05-28)[update], cumulative sales of the video games
(including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have
reached more than 200 million copies, You play as a boy catching creatures
called Pokémon which have different abilities.

5. Street Fighter
2d fighting game consisting of many game characters where you fight through
stages. Street Fighter, commonly abbreviated as SF, is a series of fighting games
developed in Japan in which the players pit the video games' competitive fighters
from around the world, each with his or her own unique fighting style, against one
another. One of the main characters in this game is Ryu. Ryu is the main character
and "hero" of the Street Fighter series. Ryu has made an appearance in every Street
Fighter game, as well as in every crossover fighting game with Capcom characters in
it. Ryu has arguably become the most famous character in the fighting game
genre, starring in early fighting games such as Street Fighter, but really got well
known in Street Fighter II, where he was considered a "basic" character. He, along
with Mega Man, is considered one of Capcom's unofficial "mascots".

6. Tekken
Tekken is a fighting game franchise created, developed and published by Namco (later Namco
Bandai Games). Beginning with the original Tekken in 1994, the series has received several
sequels as well as updates and spin-off titles, as well as three films and other media. The
series' official English name is always written in all-capital letters (TEKKEN, abbreviated to
TK). The story in each game in the main series documents the events of the fictional martial
arts tournament, the King of Iron Fist Tournament, hosted by the Mishima Zaibatsu
Corporation. The prize is typically control of the company, which then allows the winner to
host the following tournament. Kazuya Mishima is the main character in Namco Bandai's
Tekken series. He first appears as the main protagonist of the first game, and later becomes
one of the series' leading antagonists from Tekken 2 to onward. After being overtaken by the
Devil Gene, he is known as Devil Kazuya (or simply Devil).

7. Crash bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot is a series of platform video games published by Activision. The
series, originally exclusive to the Sony PlayStation, was created by Andy Gavin and Jason
Rubin during their tenure at Naughty Dog for Sony Computer Entertainment. Since its
conception at Naughty Dog, the series has appeared on multiple platforms and gone through
various developers and spans numerous genres. As of 2012, the series has a total of 18
different games.
The games are mostly set on the fictitious Wumpa Islands, an archipelago situated to the
south of Australia, although other locations are common. The main games in the series are
largely plat formers, but several are spin-offs in different genres. The protagonist of the series
is an anthropomorphic bandicoot named Crash, whose quiet life on the Wumpa Islands is
often interrupted by the games' main antagonist, Doctor Neo Cortex, who created Crash and
now wants nothing more than his demise. It's usually up to Crash to defeat Cortex and foil
any world domination plans he might have.

8. Pac Man
Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the
United States by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980. Immensely popular
from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is considered one of the classics of
the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular
culture. Upon its release, the game—and, subsequently, Pac-Man derivatives—became a
social phenomenon, that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired, among other
things, an animated television series and a top-ten hit single.
When Pac-Man was released, the most popular arcade video games were space
shooters, in particular Space Invaders and Asteroids. The most visible minority were
sports games that were mostly derivative of Pong. Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new
genre and appealing to both genders. Pac-Man is often credited with being a landmark in
video game history, and is among the most famous arcade games of all time. It is also one
of the highest-grossing video games of all time, having generated more than $2.5 billion
in quarters by the 1990s. The character has appeared in more than 30 officially licensed
game spin-offs.

9. Space Invaders
Space Invaders is an arcade video game designed by Tomohiro Nishikado, and released in
1978. It was originally manufactured and sold by Taito in Japan, and was later licensed for
production in the United States by the Midway division of Bally. Space Invaders is one of
the earliest shooting games and the aim is to defeat waves of aliens with a laser cannon to
earn as many points as possible. In designing the game, Nishikado drew inspiration from
popular media: Breakout, The War of the Worlds, and Star Wars. To complete it, he had to
design custom hardware and development tools. It was one of the forerunners of modern
video gaming and helped expand the video game industry from a novelty to a global
industry (see golden age of video arcade games). When first released, Space Invaders was
very successful. Following its release, the game caused a temporary shortage of 100-yen
coins in Japan and grossed US$2 billion worldwide by 1982. The game has been the
inspiration for other video games, re-released on numerous platforms, and led to several
sequels. The 1980 Atari 2600 version quadrupled the system's sales and became the first
"killer app" for video game consoles. Space Invaders has been referenced and parodied in
multiple television shows, and been a part of several video game and cultural exhibitions.
The pixelated enemy alien has become a pop culture icon, often used as a synecdoche
representing video games as a whole.

10. Mortal combat
Mortal Kombat (commonly abbreviated "MK"), is a series of fighting games created by
Ed Boon and John Tobias. The first four renditions and their updates were developed
by Midway Games and initially released on arcade machines, and later to home
consoles. The arcade titles were later picked up by Acclaim Entertainment for the
home console conversions. Beginning with Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Midway
Games exclusively created home versions of Mortal Kombat up until Mortal Kombat
vs. DC Universe. Following Midway's bankruptcy, the franchise was picked up by
Warner Bros. in July 2009 and became a part of the Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. The most recent title is Mortal Kombat which is an alternate retelling
of the events from the first three games in the series. The development of the first
game was originally based on the actor martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme, but
that idea fell through and Mortal Kombat was born instead. As a result of its
success, Mortal Kombat has spawned many sequels and has been spun off into several
adventure games, films (animated and live-action with its own sequel), and television
series (animated and live-action). Other spin-offs include various comic book series, a
card game and a live-action tour.

11. Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is a video game franchise created by Jordan Mechner, originally
developed for and released on the Apple II Computer in 1989. The original game
and its first sequel were 2D platform games, but the series made the switch to
three-dimensional following the release of Prince of Persia 3D in 1999. Even
though Mechner has been involved with the series in varying capacities
throughout its history, the games themselves have been developed and published
by several different companies. The first two games in the series, Prince of Persia
and Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, were developed by
Brøderbund. Prince of Persia 3D was developed by Red Orb Entertainment and
published by The Learning Company on PC, and developed by Avalanche Software
and published by Mattel Interactive on Sega Dreamcast. French-based video game
company Ubisoft began developing and publishing the series in 2003 with Prince
of Persia: The Sands of Time, and so far have been the most prolific of any
company in bringing out new games in the series.
