[game_preservation] Women composers

[Andrew Armstrong]

  Yeah, this can apply to many areas of games - although it is odd how 
music/composition is picked out, probably because there simply is a 
distinct lack of most /any /old programmers or designers (of videogames 
I mean; software engineering had some). Artists get a few from 
memory...but still...

The Women in Games group might know more, there are an odd few 
international people for other countries too if we wanted to follow this 
up a bit and try and find these composers and ask them!

Exporing this area would take a while (actually would take more time 
then we have to do everyone who has ever worked on a game...maybe we 
should start biographies and interviews as well as obituaries!) but 
would be well worth it. Since many older game teams are simply unknown 
and under the banner of a company, it'd be fascinating to find out who 
else was behind the scenes and why they worked there -  not just because 
of their sex mind you, but that'd be something definitely important to 
keep in mind, because like it or not, it is a very male dominated area, 
so those people stand out.
