I just got Strago in Final Fantasy VI (SNES version), who is a playable character who is ~70 years old. Got me thinking that you don’t see many older protagonists in games, maybe especially retro games.
I remember the elderly wizard from The Immortal (NES), but I can’t think of many more. I guess retro games were largely targeted at children so most characters were very young.
Do any older protagonists come to your mind in retro games? Or similarly, any retro games whose subject matter deals with aging?
There was also Doctor Bosconovitch in Tekken 3, age unknown but he looked around middle-late 70’s.
Oh shoot, that’s right!
