[game_preservation] Fwd: Question about the history of games for females

[Andrew Armstrong]

  A question from the Women in Games SIG; anyone got any good articles 
or info on this? Sadly I don't have any that come to mind myself.

(I commented that I presumed they meant "pink" games marketed at girls).

Greetings and Salutations:

I joined this mailing list to see what information was around / watch the
discussions.

I have delurked to ask one such question.  Is there a "history" of games /
software for women / girls?

I am curious where a piece of software that I programmed fits into the
equation.  I programmed "Jenny Of The Prairie" in 1983 for a company named
Rhiannon on the Apple IIe.  It is an adventure games for girls that was
later ported to IBM PC, Atari and Commodore.  I believe that it was one of
the first games specifically targeted for girls, but I am not sure.

Thank you for your responses, I appreciate your time.

Ken
