Lester the Unlikely is the protagonist of the eponymous 1994 Super Nintendo platformer.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Lester is a stereotypical geek of the mid-90s - bespectacled, socially awkward, and with nary a muscle on his skinny frame. Having spent all night playing video games, he one day decides to take a daytime nap on a shipping crate. It goes beyond saying that said crate is loaded unto a freighter the moment he dozes off, and to add insult to injury, Lester ends up stranded on a remote island after the ship gets sunk by pirates.

Long story short, Lester is everything except for a conventional action game hero, and the game's mechanics will gleefully remind you of this at every possible twist and turn. What initially might have been a love letter to the jerky controls found in early platformers like Prince of Persia soon became notorious over the same issue; yet said notoriety later earned it a cult following.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Lester the Unlikely fought in 8chanmania XLI. History came full circle when he indeed was set up to fight the Prince of Persia himself, and then did a 360° when Lester promptly lost.
