My top 10 favorite bad guys in video gaming history

Bad Guys in Video Games, Nintendo, PlayStation 4, Retro Video Games, Rock Star Games, Sega 2 Minutes

10. Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog – A cool boss with a wide range of attacks, weapons and vehicles. Arguably the most famous bad guy of the Sega Genesis.

9. Bowser from Super Mario Brothers – I almost left him off my list, but how can anyone not place the most recognized bad guy in video gaming history in their top 10? You can’t. While I have lost interest in Super Mario games for at least a decade, Bowser is very nostalgic for me.
8. Ganon from the Legend of Zelda – The Legend of Zelda is my favorite 8-bit video game. I love Zelda, a Link to the Past and I believe Zelda 2 Link’s Adventure is underrated. Hard to leave Ganon off my list as I was once a giant Zelda fanboy.
7. Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption 2 – RDR2 quickly became a favorite game of mine. Micah is a pure asshole. Mean to children. Pervert. Dog killer (99% chance). Liar. Traitor. A racist. Dude sucks, but makes one hell of a great bad guy.

6. Dr. Wily from Mega Man – I am a NES Mega Man fanboy. I love part two and believe the other five NES versions are underrated games. Easy for me to add Dr. Wily to the list. Each game saw him with new technology and weapons. Always a fun boss to battle!

5. Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon 1 – he shocked millions of gamers when you found out that he was the brother of the character you played as and leader of the Black Warriors. What a prick.
4. Albert Wesker from Resident Evil – Throughout the game, this douche pretends to help you. After hours of gameplay you find out this ass was a double agent and bad guy, making you hate him twice as much.
3 . Mike Tyson from Mike Tyson’s Punch Out – Without Mike Tyson, Punch Out is not the real Punch Out. Tyson was my favorite boxer growing up. Having to beat him as a child made it that much more fun, as I truly believed I was defeating Tyson.
2. Mark Jefferson from Life is Strange – To begin with, I don’t like hipsters. Meaning I disliked Jefferson from the first time I saw him. Learning he has a history of kidnapping females, drugging them and even murder, made me hate him even more. Oh yeah, the dude shot Chloe Price.  
1.Dutch van der Linde from Red Dead Redemption – Playing part two made me hate him even more. You see how he lies and uses people around him to his advantage and own self-interest. He leaves friends to die. Doubles crosses people such as Native Americans he pretends to help. How can you not hate Dutch? Add his charm, how quick witted he is and intelligence, you have one of the greatest bad guys of all-time.

Video game nerd. Big fan of NES and SNES games. Lover of Final Fantasy 7, both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, hardcore fan of NES Mega Man games and the Legend of Zelda is the greatest 8-bit game ever made. I hate shooters and the SIMS. The Atari is the most overrated system in history. Sorry, Atari fanboys. I am scared of cockroaches and flying. I believe people who believe in Bigfoot have way too much time on their hands.
