Sadly Mario has taken over the role of Pac-Man as the icon of gaming.

i think it is miyamoto but there are also alot that are near him

It really depends on what market you are talking about. Miyamoto is a console legend. However, if you start talking casual PC games, Will Wright is an icon. For FPS games it's John Carmack, although an argument could be made for Gabe Newell also. It is difficult to say there is one icon for all of gaming.

I give this thread a 9.5.

Lol, you're the only person that didn't get turned in the wrong direction because of my post.

I give your post a 9.3.
