Once upon a time platform games were everywhere, you couldn't escape them. Not even over there by the fountain! The developers often put a whole days worth of effort into the main character design! No bald space marines here, no no! There were the likes of
James Pond,
Zool,
Bubsy and
Radical Rex. Each
totally cooler than the last. It seemed pretty much anything could become the star of a platform game, so what would your SMASH HIT character be? What sort of special moves would they have?
I'd have a camel. He wouldn't look much like a camel. His name would be
Cool Camel, because he's cool. What with that hat and skateboard. Watch out, Cool Camel knows the score.
He'd be able to jump up and stab enemies with his humps somehow, like Sonic but.. humps! And he has this yo-yo right, he can smack that into enemies! Gnarly! The game would be called
Yo, Cool Camel! Because there's a yo-yo and a camel named Cool in the game ah hehohahohaheha it all falls into place! Your turn for the next best seller!
How ya doing, buddy?
