Forget Lara Croft, Kasumi, and Vanessa Z. Schneider (rawr). They've got nothing on the girls of the NES, and Syd Lexia knows it. He's compiled a list of the 23 hottest 8-bit hotties, and rated them in three categories - hotness, inner beauty, and a special arbitrary category. I'd have to say Ariel from The Little Mermaid is my favorite.

Ariel is a mermaid which means that while she may look human, her lady business has been replaced with a fish tail. That's not cool. And while I certainly wouldn't WANT to make love to a mermaid, I probably would out of morbid curiousity; I need to know if fish genitalia smells like a woman.

He obviously wrote this to get chicks. Other list makers include Zelda, Arylon from Final Fantasy, and Mario's resident transvestite, Birdo. The list can be a bit harsh at times, but it's just the thing to help make a painfully slow Friday afternoon go by a little faster. Besides, nothing with a Tawny Kitaen reference in it can be all that bad. Michael Fahey
