Who would make the best game mascot for the TI-99?

[pixelpedant]

I'd recently done a video on the TI-99's most iconic characters and thought it would be fun to get some opinions of folks here on who the best mascot for the system is.

The obvious choice is obvious.

I'm voting for the bee from Honey Hunt ? ?

The Wumpus in the lead by a nose so far.  Can't disagree with the choice. 

 

 

Sure, Mario's fun

 

 

 

And Sonic is cool

 

 

 

But how could you not fall in love with that smile?

Hard choice, but I had to go with Parsec. . .

I think stick figure guy shows up in the most games. 

 

Bigfoot, Tennis, midnight mason... The smaller rendition shows up in at least a half dozen other games... 

[Tursi]

Farmer Owen

 

(Maybe that'll get him back more! )

 

[mantadoc]

Zygonaut from Moon Mine

On second thought I’d have to go with the Posterior from that cheeky butt-plug simulator.

Remember, Munch Man had a smile, too!

Are you Team Wumpus, Team Parsec, or Team Munch Man?  Tune in next week, for the finale of...

As much as it pains me to say it...  We do not have one.  We have the Texas flag with the embedded i. 

Parsec is our best game, but it's not a mascot.  Munchman is a mushy mess and I'm ashamed to have that.

Watch out or the Picnic Paranoia guy is gonna swat all the other mascots right out of the frame

Other systems used a cartoon of a character, like Mario, rather than the pixelated game version. We should also consider the versions on the game manual.
