Anyone else remember how sexy Joanna Dark was in that two page advertisement?

Tails, when I was maybe six? I had very confusing feelings about him.

Shameen from Quest for Glory.

Brandywine from Kyrandia.

Renamon.

I didn’t learn what a “furry” was until I was a young in the early 00s, many many years later.

Probably Lara Croft. Highly pixelated poontang never looked so good

Amicus.

I never really crushed on VG characters before or since. And it's not even really a video game (it's a VN). 🤷‍♂️

Firiona Vie, is one that jumps out. Maybe not the first, but the one I can remember.

Did she always have spiral pupils and a weird scar on her cheek?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes. The pupils were generally only visible in the pre-rendered videos.
