Abraham Lincoln
When you think of Abraham Lincoln there are probably a few things that come to mind. Some may get a vision of one of the most recognized beards in history. Others may remember the absurdly tall top-hat and smile. There are many who will undoubtedly remember his stance against slavery and how he among many others helped to change the nation. But, how many will think of Abraham Lincoln and say he is one of their favorite gaming characters?
It turns out that there may be more people who feel that way than you’d probably believe. Abraham Lincoln happens to appear in a lot of video games, both as a NPC and in very special circumstances a playable character. He’s present in Civilization games, Fight Club as an unlockable character (but we can’t talk about that, first rule and all), Scribblenauts as a summon, and he is even the founder and leader of S.T.E.A.M., from the upcoming 3DS title, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. But, none of his appearances can possibly bring a bigger smile that when you get to play as him in The LEGO Movie Videogame.
Flying around in your monumental seat, tossing your iconic hat and basking in your presidential awesomeness is sort of amazing when you’re in the form of a bright yellow mini-fig. The LEGO games are gaming greatness, so Abraham Lincoln gets an extra dose of cool points by extension.
