Style?

The style of the Atari was limited as it was one of the earliest consoles, so many of the games looked similar and played similar (to some extent). The only USP many games had were the unique characters. This in turn made for some EXTRAORDINARY lead mascots and many are remembered 30 years down the line.

Pacman and Harry (Pitfall) are instantly noticable with the gamers (and surprisingly) non gamers
out there. (Pacman more so).


Pacman, this circle with a wedge missing is possibly the most well known character out there.

Space invaders - This little creature is also incredibly well known by both gamers and none gamers.
