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?
Heihachi Mishima of the Tekken series was old. I think 70s, but that probably varies based on the title.
EDIT: I guess he was only 52 at the time of the first Tekken, but he was 73 during Tekken 3. Though he was playable, he was also an antagonist, so, eh.
