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.

Chun Li from Street Fighter 2

Then turned into Millena and Kitana in a lesbian video.

Really? Rose was definitely mine. Mysterious elf girl come to save the day.

Though maybe I was just into older women. She was >!11,000!< years old ...lol

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.

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 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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.

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.

First was probably Marie:

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mia from Need for Speed: Most Wanted

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 6 days ago

We need a remaster of that absolute classic.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Let's see who is as old as I am.

Tap for spoiler"Flint" from Wing Commander 3, played by Jennifer MacDonald.

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 3 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 3 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.

Kasumi from DoA, no doubt.

[–] Maverick604@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.
