BAFTA most iconic games chatacter graphic


A poll carried out by BAFTA to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BAFTA Games Awards has crowned Lara Croft as “the most iconic video games character of all time”.


We think a certain blue hedgehog (4th), moustachioed lumber (2nd) and circular yellow pill muncher (6th) might all have something to say about that! Oh, pipe down, Busby, you had about as much chance as Cool Spot did of winning!

We wonder who’d win in poll for Fusion R Gamer readers’ most iconic video games character? Miner Willy? Horace? Why not let us know your choice in the comments?

You can find the top 20 list of iconic games characters on BAFTA’s website.


This year’s BAFTA Games Awards will be held next week, on Thursday 11th April 2024, and they will be hosted by comedian Phil Wang, as we previously reported.

I've been playing video games since the 1980s, from the 8-bit era onwards. I have had to play one-handed following a stroke in 2014, and I blog about playing games with one hand.
