Mascots are so important in the video game industry. From the very early days, the likes of Pac-Man really helped to push the brand of the video game itself, and help Atari spin the character off into cartoons, magazines, toys and so much more. However, for every successful video game mascot, there are many that simply don't cut the mustard and as the years roll by, a layer of hypothetical dust coats their would be merchandise and leaves only a lingering memory of what might have been.

So we took a look at ten forgotten video game mascots, and while they probably aren’t the most forgottenist (that is a word, don’t look it up) video game mascots, they certainly are rather neglected by those who created them.
