There was a PS1 Fighting game where you, in the menu, could turn "boob movement" on and off to a very little change ingame.

Which one is this?

Golden Axe was how I learned at the age of six that I was attracted to women. Used to squint at the CRT a lot to get a better view of that low res ass in that red and silver thong.

Battletoads The Dark Queen

Would 1,000 percent accept being stepped on

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 29 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

There was actually a method discovered relatively recently, which allows you to skip her death sequence entirely. Or rather, you force the death sequence to happen out of order, so she isn’t actually removed from your party when she should be. It’s obviously not intended, but it is possible to keep her alive. She doesn’t have any dialogue or cutscenes for the rest of the game, but it’s interesting that it’s possible.

I'm a little embarased to say--I mean I was a preteen boy at the time--but I spent way too many hours fantasizing and lusting over the picture of the Rogue class in the Diablo 1 manual.

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.

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.

[–] HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 18 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Re-dead from Zelda Ocarina of Time

Yes please suck the life out of me.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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 6 days ago

Hell yeah!

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

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 6 days ago

Ms. Pac-Man. Those curves…

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

She was your first? God damn I’m getting old…

But also yeah, valid. The devs knew exactly what they were doing when they gave the main companion a traumatic past and daddy issues.

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.

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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 😊

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I always thought she was blonde.

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."

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But he is a content old man these days.

Does that mean the Dark Side path is canon?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Dude, what an incredibly awesome interview. Thanks for that. I knew the guy retired to a vineyard so I figured that's what you were talking about, but I wasn't expecting this.
