| - | '''The Videlectrix Mascot''' is the pixelated mascot for [[Free Country, USA]]'s #1 video game company, [[Videlectrix]]. He pops up before almost every Videlectrix game. He usually runs under the Videlectrix logo and trips. He is also seen in the top banner of the Videlectrix website. The Videlectrix Mascot is likely a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Epyx|Epyx Software's]] olympiad video game series, released on the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] and [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] platforms in the mid '80s. In this game series, you play a highly animated running silhouetted character. This smooth sprite animation was cutting edge for its day. | + | '''The Videlectrix Mascot''' is the pixelated mascot for [[Free Country, USA]]'s #1 video game company: [[Videlectrix]]!
