I played it. I bought Quake when it came out. Had I never looked past the print media and thecontent of computer games the magazines portray, I would be missing out on one hell of a lot of fun today. The worst thing about this, is these women may not know a wonderful group of DOOM-Heads to show them what the game is really like. Folks, regardless of what Cosmo and Sassy magazine covers can lead you to believe, not all women want ONLY fashion and make-up tips.
Women do play and enjoy computer games .
Chances are, if she enjoys game playing she would also like Zork and maybe even some of the 3D action games out there. Because my gaming interests in the past year have expanded to many genres of games. They provide content aimed only at males. That barrier is damn hard to cross when you're not a male. My advice to those women who want to find out if computer games are for them, is simply to ignore the publications, the gloss ads and the hype.
