What are some retrogames featuring Black protagonists?

>> No.6550728

Can't think of any

>> No.6550759

The elder scrolls adventures: Redguard. If you've never played imagine the original tomb raider set in a the elder scrolls universe with a quasi pirate black dude as the protagonist. The combat is unfortunately not that fun, but if you've played the other elder scrolls games you'll probably appreciate it for the story and lore.

Better question: Are there any notable Black retro game developers, or were basically all these Black characters put in those games by Japanese and White people?

I suspect that we'd see more Black characters in games if those games were made by Black developers. Too bad Blacks have such a low average IQ, and their parents will sooner spend the welfare money they get from Whitey on mindless entertainment like pay-TV and other frivolous shit, rather than providing their kids with educationally valuable things like computers and books on how to use and program them.
