Every gamer knows a piece of video game trivia they love. Whether it’s that Mario was originally a carpenter rather than a plumber or that Lara Croft started life as a South American woman named Laura Cruz, there’s a fact out there about something we’ve played which inspires us to find out more about our hobby.
In honour of this, we’ve created the calendar below listing important dates that appear in some of our favourite releases: character birthdays, significant events and other points of interest. If there’s something we’ve missed and is worthy of being included in our collection, please get in touch with us at contributions@1001Up.com.
