What games of older generations would you put up? i dont mind the genre really, id would just love to hear yalls suggestions.
How in the world did y’all miss Silent Hill 3? It’s October, and there are even other horror games mentioned. No excuse! Tsk tsk.
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.
holy shit yes, thanks
Yeah I was going to say “a lot of jrpgs” Phantasy Star probably tops that list though.
At risk of posting twice but, I had to add this one as well:
Kyrandia 2: The Hand of Fate
A point-and-click adventure game. It was funny, colorful, and Zanthia is still awesome :) Made by Westwood of all people. It makes some references to the first, but you could play it on its own.cool, but what about the first one? do i need it?
Nah. Same setting and all, but story is mostly unrelated.
Hmmm… The plot of the first one has nothing to do with the second. But you do get a lot of world building and some characters are properly introduced in the first.
I guess you should play the first as well if you want the best experience. It’s also a good game, though the puzzles are a little more… frustrating. But it’s nothing a good walkthrough can’t solve :)
King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella
One of my most favorite King’s Quest games. And one of the first games I remember playing with a proper female lead.I think the third Leisure Suit Larry has a female lead in some parts too.
are the kings quest games selfcontained? do i need any of the previous ones to fully understand what is happening?
There are callbacks to earlier entries in the series but they can stand alone.
cool, thanks
Bayonetta.
Blood rayne, for “older sexy action woman game”
Tomb Raider
The Longest Journey was my favorite as a kid. Point and click adventure about a young art student in the future who keeps teleporting to a fantasy world.
never really got around to playing it, ill make sure to do so now
Find April Ryan!
Jill of the Jungle - PC
Shantae - Gameboy Color
Alone in the Dark - PC
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne - PSX
Shantae games are great.
Single newlines get eaten by Markdown.
Fatal Frame
Rule of Rose
Clocktower (the series, but I recommend 3)
Resident Evil
American McGee’s Alice
Fear Effect
Dino CrisisDepending on your definition of “older” you also have:
Alien: Isolation
Fran Bow
What Remains of Edith Finch
Life is Strangewow, what a list, thanks
Life is strange 🥹🥹🥹
Alien isolation stressed me out.
What Remains Of Edith Finch is downright amazing.
- Broken Age - point & click
- Little Dew - ARPG/Zelda-like
- most RPGs with character selection (Elder Scrolls, Mount & Blade)
- Raven’s Hike - puzzle/platforming
- Shantae - platformer
I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet.

The Syberia Series
The Longest Journey
Gone Home

Beyond Good and Evil
Gabriel Knight 3 has shared protagonists that you switch between; one is a woman.
Likewise some of the Broken Sword series
Talos Principle is either non-gendered or whatever you want the protagonist to be.
The first Blair Witch game from 2000
Everyone’s gone to the Rapture
Also, holla at whoever said “No One Lives Forever”; that game rules.
Portal!
Calling this game “older” is hurting my soul, though.
My steam account is 15y old, the Orange Box was my first purchase.
I had to sign up for this new fangled “Steam” back when I had to use 5 CDs to install Half-Life 2. Lost that account years ago though, unfortunately.
The Orange Box was a lot of people’s first Steam purchase. It’s hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.
You did that on purpose.
Mine was Counter Strike, bundled with CS: Condition Zero.
My account is old enough to buy cigarettes
My back hurts
I thought at that time you couldn’t buy condition zero separately, only within the orange box 🤔
I bought it before the orange box existed, like I said it was bundled with the OG Counter-Strike and CS: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.
To be clear: Condition Zero came out in '04, the Orange Box came out in '07.
My Steam account is 18 years old, so I bought CS in '05
if it makes you feel any better, you dealt psychic damage to me as well
Could look into Oni - One of Bungie’s first game
Oni Parasite Eve X-Blades
