    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.

      Pauline isn’t a princess, just a damsel in distress. Mario would get into the princess rescuing gig 4 years later.

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

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