This just popped into my head, and I had to ask about it. In a number of types of games, you can't have a good game without a good villain or "Big Bad" - so, what are your top fives, people of the Pandora forum?
Mine are as follows;
1: Dr. Albert W. Wily (Mega Man, Classic series) - He's tenacious, he's created more robots than most other video game villains combined, he puts up a great challenge every time, and without him I wouldn't have my favourite series, so Dr. Wily has to be my number one choice here.
2: Dr. Andross (Star Fox, SNES series) - A mad scientist with telekinetic powers, who is almost successful in his two schemes to conquer the Lylat System in the original two SNES Star Fox games. He's actually kind of scary, and unlike many video game villains, he isn't really a goof-up at all.
3: King K. Rool (Donkey Kong Country series) - A big-boss type villain, who throughout the course of the series tries out various video game villain professions, from king, to pirate, to mad doctor. His plans always come undone in the end, but he has bags of personality to make up for this failing.
4: Ghadius (Klonoa - Door To Phantomile) - A genuinely frightening character who represents nightmares personified. He is vengeful and hateful, and seeks to plunge the entire world into nothing but nightmares, to get revenge for the fact that people have forgotten him - a fate that he says is worse than death.
5: Baron Dante (Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, and Croc 2) - He's a big, iron-fisted (literally!) brute with a hatred for anything cute and cheerful - namely, the fluffy and carefree little Gobbos. He meets his match in Croc, a lost crocodile who was adopted and raised by the Gobbos, but is later resurrected in a freaky voodoo ritual by his henchmen, the Dantinis.
It would have been much easier to write a top ten, rather than a top five, but I wanted to give you guys a bit of a challenge.
Fire away!
