The Major Effect "The Sims" had upon the Gaming World (and why we don't talk about it)

I have never thought as computing being something only men were into. I suppose that's because I was in more or less at the start of the games' machine era. As a library student then, in the '60s we were all talking about more serious uses for computers than games, for cataloguing books instead of card cataloguing.

Other things were more important to us women generally like book censorship, women's freedom and popstars! I think girls got a bit more interested in the latter two to think about games then!
