Alicesoft's "Rance" game series has many such cases.

Save? Nest making dragon is trying to get married to some decent girl. Most of them are princesses, the rest are crazy.

Yes, and the beginning of the push back against our male hobby was against saving them as a stereotypical objective. I'm sure there are plenty like Ultima Underworld. Just curious what are the best in other people's opinion, since I'm feeling like playing some games and I don't feel like playing the therapist simulators that pass as games now or hanging out with virtual faggots. Also I feel like you could chart a decline in these types of stories, not that I felt like there were that many.

I haven't played any of these games but given what little i know about them, princesses won't stay virgins for long when protagonist is around. Whether they like it or not.

Well Rance is rape first, think later.

[NecroLord]

Games with a main quest consisting of "Save the princess" are boring.

Not much point listing only "the best" when there are hardly any to begin with.

Witcher 3 (Ciri is a princess)
Monkey Island (a governor/governor's daughter same as a princess in that part of the world)
Resident Evil 4 (president's daughter)
Final Fantasy (princesses, general's daughter etc)
Dragon's Lair
Bard Tale (up to a point)
Prince of Persia
KOTOR1 (jedi princess)
Dragon Age Origins (recently single queen/princess)

 

[Outlander]

OG Prince of Persia.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

OG Prince of Persia 2 also.
The Cave - the Knight's section has a princess to save, but it doesn't quite end up as planned.
Technically Braid is about saving a princess - only she's a metaphor, instead of a real-life person.
Eversion - you're an orange blob in running shoes going off to save the princess... except who's gonna save you from the princess?!?
Quest for Glory 1 - Elsa von Spielburg is the Baron's daughter, and she does need saving.

 

[Dr1f7]

u save a princes in the mario games i love that little red guy

 

[3 others]

Karateka
Prince of Persia Sands of Time
Crusader Kings
A few King's Quests
There was a kidnapped governor's daughter sideplot in Pirates!, no?

I think technically the protagonist in Braid is the reason the "princess" needs "saving" in the first place

Not a common trope these days... even generic "save the girl" quests are getting rare. First things coming to mind are Psychonauts & Cave Story, and those are old as dirt by now.

Comedy tones but they are princesses you save from kidnappers. Halo qualifies as a non comedy one if you think of Master Chief and Cortana as space knight and space princess.

Also I feel like you could chart a decline in these types of stories, not that I felt like there were that many.

It's the Shrek Point, where people are more familiar with the parody than the original

[Damned Registrations]

Shining in the Darkness has you rescue the princess midway through the game. Definitely the straightest I've seen the trope get played. I think you rescue one in the later games as well, at least some of them...

You also rescue a princess in FFT, but later on you give her back to your buddy who stabs her to death. (She deserved it)

FF5 has you rescue a princess like, 5 minutes into the game. Probably some kind of record there. Rescuing princesses is pretty common in jrpgs in general, I could easily name a dozen- though you often don't find out they're a princess until later. I think in the original dragon quest it might be optional- I think it's possible to leave her behind in the cave and win the game without her.

In Valkyrie Profile, instead of rescuing the princess you wait for her to die so you can recruit her as a child soldier for ragnarock.

In SaGa Frontier, you get rescued by a princess, recruit her (which is kind of rescuing her?) and fight another princess to death. I think a few other princesses. It's been a while.

What if you're the princess?
