twh/f2 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hello everyone, I'm looking for games with female heroes as main characters. Like: Ms.Pacman Kangoroo (I guess) Maybe even games like River Raid as Carol Shaw super power programmer girl. Any more ideas? Thanks, Twh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's not hard to find, almost all the early titles had female heros. Pong, Asteroids, Breakout, Tempest... OK, maybe some of that depends upon your view point. Well Summer Games, comes to mind. As for boy games, yeah, some of those are clear enough - paperboy, mario bros., karateka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just to confirm, is this about Atari 8 bit games or in general? Just to stop any confusion..The reason is tha the Great Gianna sisters is C64 / Amiga (not sure if ST) and it might have made people think Gianna was out on the Atari 8 bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twh/f2 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Giana Sisters came to my mind too . But I'm looking for 8bit Atari games. Bristles is a good one. Greetings, Twh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
