Re: poll ideas quest 2007 (Best video game character)

[ambrus]

A series of four poll ideas about classic PC games. I recommend running any of the last two only soon after running one of the first two.

Which video game hero would win in a fight?

• Super Mario
• the Prince of Persia
• Commander Keen
• the Lost Vikings (fighting together)
• Jazz Jackrabbit
• Chell

Which video game boss would win in a fight?

• Tatanga
• Grand Vizier Jaffar
• The Grand Intellect aka Mortimer McMire
• Tomator
• Devan Shell
• Glados

Which video game allied NPC would you most like as a friend

• the owls from Tree Zone
• the white mouse of the Princess
• Messie
• an Aftiek
• the bird
• the Companion Cube

Which video game weapon would you like?

• Fire Flower
• the blue Flame
• Vorticon Rail-Gun
• flaming arrows
• RF missile
• the Portal Gun

Please also post suggestions about better choices to the companions idea, the exact name (including spelling and capitalization) of listed entries, and other video games that could be included. Please don't suggest Wolfenstein 3D as a game, for that'd generate flames about whether Godwin's Law applies to the other flames or not.

Update: s/Companion Cube/Portal Gun/. Thanks to Lawliet for noticing.

Update 2012-03-09: changed a long description to "an Aftiek". How could I not know the name of that jolly guy?

Shouldn't the last option of the video game weapon poll (currently the companion cube) be the portal gun?

What about DOOM's BFG? Or Megaman X's hidden hadouken?
