      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.

      This screenshot just clawed a memory from the depths of my brain. I don’t even remember playing this game as a kid, but I vividly remember this character and art style.

      • Apeman42@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It was made by Don Bluth. You might have seen his other game Space Ace, and you’ve definitely seen some of his movies, like An American Tale (Fievel), All Dogs Go To Heacen, Secret of NIMH, or Rock-a-doodle.

    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 😊

      I always thought she was blonde.

      • ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s close, but the hue is just red enough for my book. I won’t argue with anyone calling it blonde though. The official box art (both JP and NTSC) shows her slightly more orange than the sprite too.

        source
    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      When I was playing chrono trigger the first time, I associated all the characters with friends. About 15 years later I married the woman I associated with Marle/Nadia, so I think my subconscious was telling me something.

    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.

    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 ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There was actually a method discovered relatively recently, which allows you to skip her death sequence entirely. It’s obviously not intended, but it is possible to keep her alive.

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

      I’m still kind of sad that we didn’t get a heavy metal 2020. We got one in 1980, we got one in 2000. They should have released one in 2020. As a backup, they should have released one this year. As a backup, they should release one sometime. Come on, heavy metal people. Release another fucking movie.

      • Apeman42@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I guess there were plans for one that turned into the Netflix show Love, Death, and Robots. Which I mean, has some great episodes, but it’s no Heavy Metal. Not nearly enough titties and zero Loc-nar.

    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.

    Image

    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.

    • ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I recently did a single player story playthrough of the four numbered Diablo games, and I noticed that the succubi alternate between naked and clothed in each game.

      1. Naked
      2. Clothed
      3. Naked
      4. Clothed

      So my prediction is that they will be naked again in D5, whenever that comes out.

        Yeah she’s thicc, but she shows it off with how powerful her legs are, so it actually fits her in more than just a sexual manner. The fact she could crush a watermelon with her thighs is just a perk.

      FF10 is like a personality test for sexuality:

      Lulu - goth dommy mommy

      Yuna - good conservative religious girls

      Rikku - young and playful girls

      Tidus - fuckboys

      Wakka - athletic twinks

      Auron - yes daddy

      Kimahri - 😻

        Ifrit - You have at least two Bad Dragons on display in your living room
        Shiva - You want to be stepped on
        Seymour - You made your therapist cry, and took it as a win
        Dona - You’re constantly chasing women who want nothing to do with you
        Barthello - You want a dude who can bench press you
        Isaaru - Quiet bookish guys Cid - You like watching your partner work on their car a little too much

    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”.

    Image

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

    Image

    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.
