Hey now, don't forget about the revolutionary moving ponytail! I remember reading in magazines back then how big of a deal that was.

Had a friend who thought the ocarina of time faeries were so hot. I was just like, dude, we have the Internet. We have seen what tits are supposed to look like

Im okay with her being a manic pixie goblin witch if she is okay with me being a ogre in a swamp.

Get yo game on, go play!

The fairies in A Link to the Past were on a spectrum between Tinkerbell gossamer wings and a tiny dress, to angelic bird winged and long gowns. When a fairy appeared on screen, there would be soothing harp music.

On the N64, fairies were either firefly like glow balls with insect wings, or...pointy, head-tentacled, vine clad women that screech like a witch when they emerge or retire?

It was more like one triangular solid for the original Tomb Raider 1. The technology wasn't advanced enough for cleavage, which was invented later in subsequent boob physics upgrades.

Chicks going to cons cosplaying as Lara Croft with half a shoebox up her shirt will never stop being funny.

I mean look, dead or alive volleyball was a thing and it wasn't like volleyball was topping the charts in sports.

Well, bullet bras were a thing for quite a while, too:

Picture of a real woman with pyramids for breasts.

It was more that the character was a main character and was sexualised, in 3D.

A friend of mine got her hands on a vintage swimsuit last summer and I told her I was a little nervous about being impaled if I hugged her.

But also that I loved the swimsuit and it was very intimidating.

Told her I could maybe 3d print some inserts to make it rock hard.

We need to bring back bullet shaped titties. Would keep the right people at a farther distance.

I kinda want developers to make games with shitty graphics again, for nostalgia

Lara Craft is my childhood crush. Also, the game was pretty fun too
