Thanks Karlok - that was an interesting theme and a fun quiz!

Thanks Karlok—I especially enjoyed the theme—and congrats to DarkEye and Phlebas!

This quiz really had me hopping. I, um, flubbed the heroine’s name for Oxenfree—was posting without double-checking to get it in fast. Then I realized after I’d posted that it was Alex not Alice. Didn’t know if it was within the rules to do a quick edit.

Thank you Becky, but all the glory goes to Karlok, for presenting rounds at the same time every day.

I have noticed this, Becky. I was sure than that I made a mistake when writing down her name.

Before 2000 it was just one or two a year, with the exception of 1995 (6) and 1997 (11).

PS: Another interesting fact. IMO. At least 30 of the 100 different adventures in the quiz have a male protagonist as well, like Broken Sword, Maniac Mansion, Gray Matter. The same goes for my avatars: 14 out of 38 games.

That’s quite interesting and it would tend to disprove my theory of the influence from Roberta Williams and Jane Jensen. Although Roberta Williams did contribute quite a few female protagonists.
