The topic of the first playable female protagonist isn't as cut-and-dried as folks might like to think. There are many flavors of first, which trips people up. Who was the first on arcade, computer, home console? In the US, Japan, Europe? I'll try to unravel it for you here in a thread. 🧵

I did it. I nearly blacked out, but I did it. I made y'all a top ONE HUNDRED favorite games list!

And look, okay... My list changes DAILY in my brain. I love way too many games to limit myself. But hey, I wanted to try.

So here's 100 games I think are pretty great and you should play them. 🙃
