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
