I don't think I ever really had one of these.
I mean I thought Sniper Wolf was hot at the time, but it was nothing like these.
(though I suppose my liking Olivia from Grim Fandango is weird enough to be mentioned. Shut up, skeletal or no, she had a sexy voice)

Lol at Antista's current crush.

Link's blue tunic was CLEARLY the best one.

Grace from Gabriel Knight was actually fairly well written (shame she ended up the typical damsel in distress), but dear god does Charlie overhype that game.

Lizzie officially terrifies me.

I would guess Justin is a fan of Blaze from Streets of Rage too.

Gah, it's weird that I empathise the most with whoever said Guybrush. >_<

When PSM did their April Fools thing of Valkyrie Wilde, that was my first gaming crush. And then my dreams were crushed because it was an April Fools joke...

Charles:
It's a text-driven point and click sort of adventure game. Who else? Exactly.

And to you, Brett Elston. Maddox. You are the man, and you don't even need The Alphabet of Manliness to get that title

My first who a love triangle from Tiffan and Aerith (or Aeris at the time) from FF7. I always had Tiffa and Aeris by my side and if anyone hit them i would attack them with a vengence. Then Sephirothn kills Aeris and then my story of revenge began. THE BASTARD kills Aeris.

My first real gaming crush? I was a rush of hormones back in the 16 bit days, and, well, pretty much any sweaty bodybuilder in a thong or loincloth would work for me (see: giants at the end of the first stage of Golden Axe, or Gillian Thunderhead) but the only one that I actually wrote lurid, detailed fan fiction about was everyone's favorite Russian, Zangief. Maybe it was the well-packed red briefs. The chest hair. Or the clue that he disliked "pretty girls". But in my stories, he was rescuing my teenage self from a life of tedium to forever be by his big, burly side. Current gaming crush? Dom from Gears of War (I hear he's single now) and, yeah, Rufus.

Ummm i like Lucy from Assassins Creed (cause its just Kristin Bell and shes hot!!), Elika from the new PoP and Elena Fisher from Uncharted

Travesty! No one saw fit to include Eve from Leisure Suit Larry: Land of the Lounge Lizards?! Remember when they "remastered" it in 256 VGA graphics? Remember how hot she looked in the hot tub? Man, that was drop-dead GORGEOUS!
Or how about the damsel in Custer's Revenge? Sure, she looked like a couple of lego block- sized pixels, but simple facts are simple facts: She sexes you up despite being tied to a CACTUS, of all F'ing things, and shot at with arrows! That's true love! Unforgettable!

I think my first was probably the cat-lady from Knights of the Old Republic. I can't even remember her name very well, but she was the first video game character I felt romantically attached to, and she was just so intriguing and made me want to care for her.

Most recently is a tie between Kumatora in Mother 3 and Ellika in Prince of Persia.

It's pretty embarrassing, but I think my first gaming crush was Raiden from MGS 2. But it's like, how many of your crushes got naked for you? Sure, he allegedly just got stripped of all his equipment including his clothes, but really, it was for me.

Most recent, would have to go to RE 5's Chris Redfield and his ginormous balloon biceps.

@FadedLineVigil: Aw, you know you love it.

I think mine was Yuna from Final Fantasy X. She just had such a cute way about her, and with such an inticate storyline eventually you cant help but get emotionally attached. (Spoiler) When i found out that the Final Aeon was going to kill her it felt like the heart had been ripped out of my chest. :(
