I honestly thought of Mario first but yeah, Tetris, Mario, pacman and maybe space invaders would be instantly recognisable to everyone. If I was to show my non gamer dad a picture of Niko, CJ or Trevor/Michael/Franklin then he would have no idea who they were. Where as the other games he absolutely would recognise the characters or the names.

Sensationalist click bait knows no such thing

And chess is just rolling its eyes.

Senet would also like to have a word (nobody said video games)

Pac Man as well.
