Out.com, the online companion to the print magazine, has taken it upon itself to designate the world’s “gayest video games.”

Fairly interesting assessments of classic games such as Super Mario Bros. (“cleaning pipes and taking names”), and Contra (“Two bare-chested dudes on a mission neither can accomplish without the other”) suggest that pretty much every video game that broke some kind of mold, first shattered the closet door of homosexual innuendo.

Here is probably my favorite excerpt:

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.
