Girl Games of the 1990s: A Retrospective

In this 2018 GDC talk, developers Laura Groppe, Brenda Laurel, Jesyca Durchin Schnepp, Sheri Graner Ray and Ernest Adams revisit a whole genre of games that found success in the 1990s, and discuss what it was like to produce those games at that time, what their direction and goals were, what they might have done differently, what effect those games had on the industry today and the state of girls and games today.
