Hmm... but these people wouldn't know any video game character?

True that, but you asked I answered!

I was honestly asking if they knew them like actually met them. Not people they hear about, lol. I don't think most people here have met people on that list.

I can say that I have met amish peeps, tho that's not something I brought up with them or would be apporiate in any situation.

I'm shocked at the poll results. Perhaps it should be changed to "under 30"? Because for most people over that, Pac-man is synonymous with video-games. His very shape is iconic and immediately recognizable. My mom would have no clue who Mario is, for example, but I have little doubt she'd know Pac-man.

Pac-Man might have been iconic at one point, but his time has passed...
If anything, he is an icon of an era more so than an icon of gaming...
Mario has proven timeless...

Have a nice day...
