In the realm of video games, a curious phenomenon occurs; as we age, our beloved characters often remain frozen in time. But what if they didn’t? What if they aged at the same rate that we do?

To help answer that question, experts at gaming magazine GamerBrain have devised a list that includes some of the world's most iconic video game characters of all time. Using Midjourney AI, they have generated images of what these characters would like in 2024 if they had aged at the same rate as humans.

1. Pac-Man made his first ever video game appearance in Pac-Man (1980), initially released in arcades. Pac-Man was originally called "Puck-Man," but the name was changed to avoid confusion with a popular British curse word.

2. Mario first appeared in the arcade classic Donkey Kong (1981), where it became the highest-grossing game of 1981 and 1982.

Despite being Italian, Mario's voice has only been spoken in English and Japanese in the official games.

3. Lara Croft first appeared as the main character in Tomb Raider (1996) for the Sega Saturn.

Lara Croft was initially designed with a more curvaceous figure, but her design was toned down to make her appear more athletic and less sexualised.

4. Princess Peach made her video game debut in Mario Bros. (1985), which was first released in arcades.

Princess Peach has been kidnapped no less than 15 times throughout the Mario series!

A spokesperson for gaming magazine, Gamerbrain said: "Using Midjourney AI to create new iterations of our favourite video game characters isn't just about nostalgia; it's about utilising AI tools to generate something fun and innovative that we as video game fans can resonate with".

5. Although not turning out to be quite as commercially successful as Mario, Donkey Kong also made his video game debut in Donkey Kong (1981).

Donkey Kong was not originally intended to be the villain of the game; instead, he was only supposed to be the main character's pet.

6. Link first appeared as the main character in The Legend of Zelda (1986) for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), which became one of Nintendo's most successful video game franchises.

Link is left-handed in most of the Legend of Zelda games, which was a design choice to accommodate the right-handed player controlling him.

7. Princess Zelda also made her initial appearance in The Legend of Zelda (1986) for the NES.

Princess Zelda isn’t your run-of-the-mill princess. She can harness the powers of telepathy and teleportation, among others.

8. Samus Aran made her video game debut in Metroid (1986), which was released on the Nintendo Famicom in Japan and, a year later, on the NES in North America.

Samus was initially intended to be a male character, but the developers decided to reveal her as a woman at the end of the game to surprise players.

When done properly, AI can blend the old with the new and allow us to imagine a new take on our favourite characters while also paying homage to their roots.

9. Ryu first appeared in the arcade classic Street Fighter (1987).

Ryu’s signature move, the ‘Hadouken’, is translated as ‘wave motion fist’; it is inspired by the move ‘wave motion gun’ from the anime series Space Battleship Yamato.

10. Solid Snake Snake first appeared in Metal Gear (1987) for the MSX Home Computer.

Snake's iconic cardboard box disguise was inspired by a real-life smuggling tactic used in Japan.

11. Mega Man first appeared in Mega Man (1987) on the NES.

Mega Man's creator, Keiji Inafune, drew inspiration from his childhood love of Ultraman and Astro Boy when designing the iconic character.

12. Sonic made his first video game appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) on the Sega Genesis, which was created to provide Sega with an iconic mascot to compete with Nintendo's Mario.

Sonic was initially conceived as a rabbit or an armadillo before settling on the iconic hedgehog design.

1) I love @TheTwilightZone. One of my favourite episodes is The Shelter. It's a shocking but effective example of how fear can breed paranoia, bigotry & wanton aggression. The story begins with an innocent & convivial scene, neighbourhood friends celebrating someone's birthday
2) Then, after a radio news alert about a possible nuclear holocaust & strange sightings in the sky, these neighbours suddenly reveal their true, inner selves. With only 1 house that has a fallout shelter, the so-called civilized human beings become an angry mob.
3) Violence and racial bigotry become rampant as the neighbours' pound on the shelter's door until it breaks open.

At this point, another radio announcement that the forthcoming nuclear attack is a false alarm.

1) Ductwork specialists @Airmatic, were curious to find out the most expensive types of dust available. Working with dust daily, they’ve ranked their dusty findings to decipher exactly the types you wouldn’t want going into one of their extraction systems. The full list is below:
2) House dust - This is your everyday cleaning enemy around the house, made from dirt, skin cells, pet hair & fabric fibres. You can get this for free, which is why it takes the bottom spot as the cheapest type of dust. It’s not even worth our time to put a price on it.
3) Sawdust - A type of wood dust that comes from cutting timber; unless you’re a carpenter, you may not see too much of this stuff. However, it's used a lot for various animals & their beds. Not quite free but fairly cheap, unlike the horse. A 1kg bag will set you back just £1.10

1. I Am always in awe of people who put their heads above the parapets in an effort to want to try to better the paranormal. It is an admirable yet arduous task but not without risk as any new paranormal 'thing' is always going to divide opinions.
twitter.com/ukparanormalsoc
2. There'll always be questions, why and who is involved? Is it needed? How can this work when the paranormal might not even be real? Impartiality, experience, transparency, finances etc, etc. I'll be honest, I am not a fan of rules in the paranormal.
twitter.com/ukparanormalsoc
3. Yes to guidelines, morals, ethics, respect & respectability etc, that goes without saying but am often conflicted by being told 'how to be', & 'how to do' because most of us know 'how to be' & 'how to do' & most of us are blessed with morals & respect. twitter.com/ukparanormalsoc

1. Am sure we all know this fella, Edgar Allen Poe, writer & poet famed for his macabre mystery tales. In 1838 he wrote, “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym”.
Arthur is on a ship when the crew mutiny, there's a storm, most of the crew are killed and the survivors are scattered. Image
2. Food is a real problem; they hunt, kill & eat a turtle, but it's not enough. So they play straws to see who will be eaten. That person is Richard Parker, one of the mutineers, consequently, they kill him & the survivors eat him. Eventually, they are rescued. ImageImage
3. In 1884, a ship called the Mignonette embarked on a voyage from England to Australia. The ship faced a terrible storm off the east coast of Africa and the survivors were adrift without water or food. They manage to capture, kill and eat a turtle; However, it was not enough. ImageImage
