yeh, I'd hit that

The silhouette was quite a bit for a 14 year old.

Im dating myself, but Jill of the Jungle. All 12 pixels of her!

Princess Daphne from Dragon's Lair. I'm so very old.

Lt. Eva Lee from Red Alert 2. Yeah Tanya was hot too, but something about how Eva talked just made me swoon lol.

Don’t quite remember if it was high school or college for me….

Battletoads The Dark Queen

Would 1,000 percent accept being stepped on

I was convinced, until the end of the game, there had to be some way to bring her back.

Chun Li from Street Fighter 2

Then turned into Millena and Kitana in a lesbian video.

Those pixelated succubus titties in the Hell stages were really something too. Kids today just don't know how desperate we were for even a hint of nudity.

See also, the other love of my young life, Samus Aran.

Kairi from Kingdom Hearts! She had a massive glow up between KH1 and KH2.

For me, maybe Razor from Maniac Mansion, even though I never made it more than ~30 mins into that game. My kid brain didn't understand the funny tingly feeling but years later I realized, "oh duh, hot punk babe".

There was also Princess What's-Her-Name, though she wasn't much of a character.

In terms of characters with actual detailed personality, the first big one was probably Rinoa from FF VIII. I was the same age as her when I played it.

Shana, the legend of dragoon.

It was Led from Septerra Core.

I've got to go with Sophia Hapgood.

lara croft. i used to play that game by just jumping around the tutorial mansion level 🤣

Lucca, from the 1995 SNES JRPG, Chrono Trigger.

This lady right here.

Posts you can pinpoint the average Lemmy users age with

Iris from Megaman X4, I legit got sad when Zero had to fight her, then that awful eng dub came on and I started laughing.

So many girls and women, from thousands of games, both famous both niche, I'll list some, otherwise I would never end, I like them more as full-fledged characters due to their background and attitudes.

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

Those are the two little me was staring at quite often. Not quite a crush more of an attraction
