1988 is a year I don’t know much about so far. Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 were released as well as the pretty fun Bravoman by Namco for arcades. 1988 marked also the debut of the popular Chocobo from Final Fantasy and Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden games.

The list below is growing every week, and will hopefully give you an overview about the game character creations from 1988!
