The sorely missed comedian and actor made no secret of his love of video games, especially his beloved Nintendo consoles. In fact, the Oscar-winning star even named his daughter Zelda after the classic RPG series. In 2011, father and daughter both appeared in a series of TV ads for the 3DS and Wii. Other games to get the Williams seal of approval include Portal, Half Life, Battlefield and Call of Duty, which he described as "cyber cocaine".
