Remember these video game mascots from the 90's? Retroheadz takes a nostalgic look back at the video game mascots that came about and mainly stayed in the 90's too.
Retro gaming fans rejoice! Secret Mode and Sumo Digital Academy are proud to announce Zool Redimensioned coming to Steam on August 18th. Originally released by Gremlin Graphics in 1992 on the Amiga to critical acclaim, iconic gaming mascot Zool returns in Zool Redimensioned.
Bubsy: Paws on Fire will bring the infamous bobcat back for a second time this generation. However, he wasn't the only cartoon pal from the 90s. Here's our rundown of ten more failed gaming mascots.
Oscar Navarro:
"Throughout the course of video game history, we have seen many characters rise the ranks to become iconic mascots. We sometimes forget, however, that with those that have risen come those that have been lost to time. Many have tried to reach the heights of Mario and Sonic, but could never win the hearts of gamers quite in the same way. Today, we thought it would be interesting to discuss five mascots that sadly have fallen out of the limelight. Before we go any further, keep in mind that forgotten doesn’t inherently mean disliked. Surely some of you out there will hold some of these characters close to your hearts. Forgotten simply means that these mascots never really received the praise that their more famous competitors have. With that said, here are five forgotten video game mascots."

Aero the Acrobat was one of my favorite games as a kid.
I want to give a shout out to Cool Spot.
Rocket Knight one of the best Genesis mascot games. Bonk games were pretty decent as well. Pulseman from Gamefreak is another forgotten game.
Seing the Zool thumbnail gave me nostalgia vibes. Shame the game was slippery as hell!
Don't forget Earthworm Jim.
