Archived from groups: alt>games>video>xbox (more info?)

i was talking with my friend about how i thought san andreas was the
best of the gta series and he said "yeah, how many games do you play as

a black character!" i couldn't think of many others from before san
andreas except for maybe spawn...but i don't think spawn really counts.
forgotten worlds on the genesis...

any thoughts?

Shadowman and Urban Chaos both had black protagonists, and neither were
fighting games.

Basically almost all fighting games...Fight Night for example...

The question would have been better as:
How many games feature a black person as the lead character,

One of the characters in Fuzion Frenzy (Samson, I think?).

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, both I and II, you can select
black characters. As a white male I chose to play I as a black female as
part of my therapy which is trying to help me empathize with other cultures
and races Smile
