I mean really,... who believes his list is more than the people in it humoring him for the work he's obviously proud of ?
So you expect me to believe that whenever a girl tells me she likes Total Chaos she is just lying?  Why?  Why do you feel that girls can't like strategy games?  Do you think they are not smart enough or what?  Dude, you are really sexist.

Id expect that a few of the people he listed wouldn't know what an Amiga was had it not been for him showing people what he's done and encouraging them to play it with him.
Why on Earth would you expect that females cannot own their own Amigas and play games on them?

All the girls in that list (except one) own/owned their own Amigas for many years and played hundreds of Amiga games.

What have you got against females having fun with their Amigas?

Hahaha,.... that's so far off the mark I dont know where to start with how wrong it is.

Yes, Im so sexist that I spend a good chunk of my free time discussing the creative side of Amiga with a good friend, who happens to be one of this sites best known females. We've spent hours upon hours talking about, and doing creative stuff for the Amiga for the past few years since we met..... yes obviously Im sexist and dont believe woman can enjoy thier amigas. The fact that me and Cammy colaborate on Amiga stuff proves that......

Seriously guy, how the smeg did you come to this highly amusing conclusion ?
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Yes, because all girls think the same, right?

Please name 1 female that said she liked Total Chaos, not because she meant it, but rather just to humor me ?

Both Jane and Debra.
Vague, and who are they ?  Exactly.

Anyway, I suspect you'll miss the point as you have anything Ive said already, so I'll re-itterate the fact that my comments were tongue in cheek.

I dont want to belittle your work, if youre enjoying it then good luck to you.

Are we just talking about girls and the Amiga? Or girls and gaming in general? Generally speaking and remembering what some liked to play in the past and present, I've noticed women get a kick out of:

Centipede
Any Pac-Man type game
Gyruss
Dig Dug
Guitar Hero
Any video or REAL pinball machine
Any card or trivia games, especially on the MegaTouch bar top touch screens (I own one)
Old fashioned Shuffle puck bowlers
Juno First
Donkey Kong I and III
Burgertime
Pooyan
Moon Patrol
Tetris
2600 Demon Attack
2600 Adventure

...can't say I've ever known a woman that's been into RPG's, Chess or war strategy games. lol  Different generation for sure. I can see teenagers, tweens and twenty-somethings liking some RPG's though. After a certain age/responsibility/lifestyle, just no time for certain games (if any) anymore  ;)

Also can't say I've ever known any women that were into gaming on a computer come to think of it. Console's and real arcade machines, yes.

My wife is into real RPG's with dice and paper. Not so much the wargames though.

Amiga or other. But I did say games they say they like, not just ones they play to be part of the group. e.g. My friends sister use to come and play Mechwarrior with us, but only to 'join in'.

So I guess there is no stigma of 'boys' games and the little ones won't get told "No, they're for boys" when she points at a video game.

Jenn: OrkinLand, Temple of the Enlightened Souls, and, of course, Total Chaos.
 
June: OrkinLand, Rodland, Pick n Pile, and, of course, Total Chaos
 
Rachel: OrkinLand and Total Chaos
 
Tess the Mess: OrkinLand (Really likes the orange boxes)
 
Beth: OrkinLand (She loves to kill things, especially monsters)
 
Briana: OrkinLand. We are planning an 8-player game, and she'll probably win!
 
Melissa: OrkinLand. Poor little Melissa :hammer:
 
p.s. OrkinLand isn't out yet, but I'm thinking of making it, and these girls all have great confidence that it'll be their favorite game ever.

Where are the Girls !

The problem is....this oh so accurate guesstimate is based on "my *InsertFemaleTitle*" and is just so funny!

Some of you should write it thus....

"My female likes.............." covers all basics.......I guess the after hours hair dragging to bed occurs in the same manner.

Lets be honest the topic the thread and the attempt at being PC was so wrong to begin with.....you all just tripped over yourselves, on the way to generalisation.
