Video Games
The 1995 game Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh was the first to establish a playable bisexual character. Several video games including The Sims, Fallout 2, Fable, Mass Effect, and Bully allow potential bisexual romantic or sexual behavior.
In the video game series Metal Gear Solid, the villain Vamp is known to be bisexual, and is revealed in dialogue to have adopted the name as an indication of this. Another bisexual villain appears in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater named Colonel Volgin.
Persona 4 also deals with the character Kanji struggling with his sexual identity. As the player plays through the characters Social Link it is not revealed what Kanji's sexual orientation is or even if he has it figured out. It is left up to the player to interpret his sexual orientation.

Famous quotes related to video games:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
