Women have always made video games, from the 1960s and the
first-of-its-kind, projector-based Sumerian Game to the blockbuster
Uncharted games that defined the early 2000s. Women have been
behind the writing, design, scores, and engines that power one of
the most influential industries out there. In Gamer Girls, now you
can explore the stories of 25 of those women. Bursting with bold
artwork, easy-to-read profiles, and real-life stories of the women
working on games like Centipede, Final Fantasy, Halo, and more,
this dynamic illustrated book shows what a huge role women have
played-and will continue to play-in the creation of video games.
With additional sidebars about other influential women in the
industry, as well as a glossary and additional resources page,
Gamer Girls offers a look into the work and lives of influential
pixel queens such as: * Roberta Williams (one of the creators of
the adventure genre) * Mabel Addis Mergardt (the first person to
write a video game) * Muriel Tramis (the French "knight" of video
games) * Keiko Erikawa (creator of the otome genre) * Yoko
Shimomura (composer for Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom
Hearts) * Rebecca Heineman (first national video game tournament
champion) * Danielle Bunten Berry (creator of M.U.L.E. and early
advocate for multiplayer games) * and more! Whether you're a gamer
girl who plays video games, a gamer girl who makes video games, or
a parent raising a gamer girl, this entertaining, inspiring book
will have you itching to pick up a controller or create your own
video games!
