Phantasy Star. Love that game.

I put together a list of games for every letter of the alphabet with playable female characters that I’ve personally played and a lot of them are pretty old.

King’s Quest 6 fits the bill for me. I love that there’s not really some dialogue choice that puts you down a different path, but just basic game choices make things play out in different ways.

Even if it doesn’t change the overall story, I love it when there are multiple solutions to puzzles. It’s at least altering how the story plays out and makes it more tailored to the person playing it. Even crap like the two ways to handle Orat and the start of the Deltaur in the first Space Quest has always been fascinating to me.

Honorable mention to how the RPG mechanics in Quest For Glory and Heroine’s Quest alter how those stories play out.

Might not be what you were looking for. As someone who doesn’t rank stories that high as being important to her adventure gaming, I did my best.

Police Quest ]['s intro song, played through an MT-32 on my dashboard like some kind of police radio hardware, as I drive out to get coffee.

Lol, seriously. Back in 3rd or 4th grade our teacher was asking the class what their favourite music was and my legit answer was Police Quest 2. The whole class thought I was a freak. I mean they did before, but my answer didn’t change any minds.

Serious answer for an entire soundtrack though? Space Quest 4. Good variety. I’m a big fan of the dystopian vibes, and that final countdown theme in the supercomputer is chef’s kiss

Yeah, I think “Transfem” would be a more accurate and just overall better name. I agree it’s better to focus on where we are rather than where we were. I never liked MtF because in my view I was never “male”. Transfem just describes what I am and always have been.

Same parents that let me play Manhunter: San Francisco. We’re clearly dealing with parents of the year, here.

Probably the usual combo of Progress Quest and Cookie Clicker, and then spend the rest of the time scouring the internet for a game that likely doesn’t exist. Would really love to find an offline able, incremental RPG in a similar vein as Clickpocalypse II

It’s funny to read comments bashing King’s Quest 3, because freak show over here (me) got into adventure games because of KQ3.

Before my psychotic parents got rid of it for being occultic, and replaced it with Space Quest 1 (not a bad exchange, I must say) I loved KQ3. I never got far in it, but it was just this open world for me to explore. The fact that wizard guy could just poof in at any time just captivated my imagination and made it feel like someone other than my character was out in the world doing things. It made the world feel much bigger than it was and it captivated my sense of wonder.
