Gaming Icons Get Star On 'Walk Of Game'

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday September 3, 2003 @09:04AM from the outside-stann's-chinese-takeaway dept.

Thanks to Businesswire.com for hosting the press release announcing a 'Walk Of Game' within the Metreon Center in San Francisco, honoring "groundbreaking videogame titles and franchises" in the form of Hollywood Walk Of Fame-style stars. No inductees have yet been announced for the walk, set to "...commemorate some of pop culture's most indelible icons of the digital screen", but it'll be interesting to see if Mario gets a star inside the Sony-owned Metreon, and whether creators will be honored in addition to game characters.

Besides, if they don't put Mario there, who will they put? Crash Bandicoot? Polygon Man?!?

This Friday, popular game character Mario was honored with a spot on the Sony Metreon's Walk of Game. The plumber graciously recieved his Star and subsequently killed the 4 Sony presenters when they shook his wildly flashing invincible hand.
