Is Lara Croft as recognizable of a character to the non-gaming crowd as Mario is? Would you call her one of the most recognizable video game characters of all time?

Yes. Maybe more so for those of us as teens/adults during the 90's. Today I'd say her character to non-gamers rides more on the movies only.
>>2923702
Definitely. She's probably one of the most iconic PSX characters in the west.
>>2923702
No. I guarantee that most non-gamers can't name her. They might be able to figure out that she's from a game, but that's it.
>>2923702
She used to be, but not anymore.
Ask "modern gamers", and the majority of them won't be able to tell you who she is; that is when bringing tablet and mobile phone players into your stats, which is what every video game study does these days. Still, those same people would know who Mario is.

Not that Lara Croft. Man, the new one is such a shit character.
