We need a remaster of that absolute classic.

Jan Ors

"What would you do without me, Kyle?"

"I'd be a content old man!"

"Somehow I don't see content or an old man."

I feel like this picture has 4 to 8 times the number of pixels I remember from the fmvs.

I think for me, the only female I remember in a video game was the princess in the arcade version (because consoles didn’t exist yet) of Donkey Kong. And she seemed kinda cute, for a blob of coloured pixels.

Much later, I do remember being quite entranced by Lara Croft’s walk in Tomb Raider… I think that was the first time I thought a computer generated female looked attractive. Honestly, the image quality was still horrible but they nailed that walk.

I scrolled pretty far and didn't see a single mention of Marle from Chrono Trigger (or I'm blind). Needles to say, she was mine. I've always had a thing for redheads 😊

First was probably Marie:

Rikku taking off her outer bodysuit was probably a sexual awakening for a lot of young teenagers.

I had a save before the fmv and cried when I forgot and saved over it

Babette from Cosmic Fantasy 2.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 is the only game in the Cosmic Fantasy series that ever saw a North America release. It was released on the Turbografx 16 CD, which is the game system my mom bought me when she bought my older brother and younger sister of Super NES and a Sega Genesis.

She figured buying each of us a different game system would mean that we would share and collaborate, but nobody wanted to play my role-playing game, and they didn't want to let me play Sonic or Mario, so I sat down and played Cosmic Fantasy II from beginning to end.

It was the first role-playing game I ever beat, it was the first role-playing game I had ever seen with full-motion video, it was a really good story, and yeah, the introduction of Babette was a full-motion anime video of her taking a shower in a space ship, which was fantastic to preteen me.

Viconia! Definitely my archetype. Strong and evil, but somehow vulnerable as well.

I think my first was probably Elaine Marley from The Secret of Monkey Island. I wasn't used to seeing strong independent women in video games.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Hell yeah!

TBH, Guybrush was kinda cute too, if you like complete fucking dorks.

Zangief, there's just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

::: NSFW Tap for pic :::

Sorry! Tried to mark it NSFW, but the format wouldn't take.
