I was thinking on Super Mario not Donkey Kong.

Last _{why is Luigi always excluded?} Post

[Swatopluk]

because he was an opportunistic late-comer and camp-follower, of course.

Why let him in then?

Last _{discriminatory} Post

[Swatopluk]

Corps always need new cash cows. And once the racing (racer?) games became popular, one needed more characters. Four is typical and Kong, Mario and the girl (I think no name was given initially) were only three.

Luigi has always been Player 2 in Mario games.

But the whole franchise began with the single player (arcade) game

There was also Baby Pacman (much more difficult than the original iirc)

Last _{what were the ghosts in the pinball machine?} Post

[Swatopluk]

Can't remember. It was an arcade machine that combined the video game with the pinball, i.e. certain actions on the screen led to the pinball getting switched on.

Those contraptions always seemed unwieldy to me.

I loved to watch other people play arcade machines as a child (esp. on boring ferry crossings)

Edit: Breaking News : The Iron Lady is no more.
From wikipedia I take that she was high on the list of both best (#16) and worst Brits (#3) of all time.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I'm surprised she lasted this long.
