Representation is important to me, and so I wanted to research this topic with regard to the NES. There are many more titles that feature other POC, mostly Asian, but that makes sense considering the vast majority of games were created in Japan. I'd be happy to discuss this topic (constructively) more in the comments. Considering there were roughly 700 NES games released in North America, and I searched but could only find about 30 games with black characters in them.

This is a great idea!

You missed Michael from Maniac Mansion. Would be a good addition.

Thank you! I will add that game to the quiz. I was certain I'd missed a few even after researching.
