Super Mario Bros.
Cleaning pipes and taking names.
Contra
Two bare-chested dudes on a mission neither can accomplish without the other. Widely thought to have influenced Annie Proulx before she penned the short story "Brokeback Mountain."
Duke Nukem
Chasing pussy was just a front for the muscled Chelsea queen. And, that ridiculously butch vocabulary? No doubt a veil for repressed desires.
BurgerTime
The "slap some meat between those buns" tag line was jettisoned for the less memorable "let's get cooking." But, this 1982 arcade title was created as a witty -- and fun -- commentary on the closeted state of male-to-male sexuality in the early 1980s.
Sonic
Sonic the Hedgehog's arch nemesis, Dr. Robotnik, was endlessly questing for more jewelry, always more jewelry. His schemes most often involved transmuting cute animals into gold rings. In short, he was and will forever be the Liberace of video games.
Pokemon
Pikachu collects "tricks" and captures them in his magic balls. Enough said.
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat caused a stir among parents for the violence of its battles. Less oft discussed was the game's honest, open treatment of transsexuals. Likely the first and most tranny-relevant video game.
Kirby
This pink-clad Nintendo character made swallowing cool again.
Street Fighter
Hands-down the gayest video game of all time. Zangief was a bear. Ken was a muscle top. Ryu was a muscle bottom. Blanka was a tranny. M. Bison was leather daddy. Honda was a chub chubby chaser...
