Catherine Zeta Jones in The Mask of Zorro was another stunner that lived rent free in my head as a kid

Wow, good question. Must have been something like Bonnie from Knight Rider.

Nothing can beat Bayonetta giving you a demonic bj.

That's called a fantasy, not a crush.

Kids today are spoiled as far as video game crushes, if you grew up in the 90s this was your lot

Well, the cover art and handbook gave the needed context:

True, but even then you needed a hefty dose of imagination to flesh out these comparatively basic 3D renders.

Then again, people crush on characters in literature where their appearance is entirely constructed in our imagination, so maybe there's something to be said for less being more.

Still, for me at least I don't remember having any video game crushes as a kid, mine were all from movies.

Been thinking hard about this but I really can't remember which was the first. Back as a child, I only knew at which times cartoons and anime would be on TV, so most other shows I'd just watch whenever I happened to see them by chance. I also never had an actual crush, just thought some looked hot. Some characters I remember:

- Xena from Xena Warrior Princess

- Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson's wife (forgot her character's name) from Stargate SG-1 

- The Baywatch girls

- Seven of Nine (Star Trek Voyager)

Do Animes count as well? In that case:

- Misty and May (Pokémon)

- Videl (Dragonball)

- Jeanne (Phantom Thief Jeanne)

- Several Sailor Moon girls 

Edit: BTW, why do I sometimes see the name of the person who agreed with my post and sometimes only "somebody"? And how do I check if my name is being displayed when I like someone's post? I think it's better if people know who agreed haha.

lena from Aqua band. Buffy the vampire slayer, and that chick from jag.

In forum options under settings uncheck anonymous likes and it'll stop saying somebody when you like a post. I had no idea about that option till @XtremeBG told me about it recently.
