. For starter, you play a woman in this game-- a fact that won't make any Roberta Williams fans raise eyebrows, but in this case it seems as if the designer made the choice only as an excuse to flaunt mildly erotic, useless scenes such as you taking a shower.

Your choices are not exactly helping your case here.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the return to mysterius island 1-2 games, in the 2000+ games list. Alone the Nancy Drew games+Carol Reed games are more than the half of your mentioned 50 Adventure games. So i think that your numbers do not speak the truth. If the casual adventures are counted too then the scene changes completely and the games with female protagonists are more than the ones with male protagonists

So wait, if we look up all of the non-casual adventure games published after 2000, we can find 25 that have female protagonists out of...
lots? And most of these are all in the same one or two series?
This is like saying, "Well, only 3% of the top CEOs are female, but I can name several female businesspeople at these few companies! So your numbers are lying!"
Should we look at the A-Z Adventure Game list and pick 50 random games made after 2000, then see what percentage of them have male leads and what percentage have female leads?
