Try as I might, I can't imagine a thing about video games that would make it lean towards one gender or the other (excluding "recent" trends of oversexualization and ultraviolence, etc.). I wonder why it was staked out as "male" even at the very beginning?
I can only find pretty skewed articles about it but it appears that it began as a product marketed at adults and children separately, pong at the bar, pong at home with the kids, etc. Then due to cost, they had to pick a single target audience. Maybe it's just a symptom of the rigid social norms of gender at the time?

I was just a little'n back then. I probably didn't even notice.

including the earlier years when more unfriendly behavior was tolerated.
I thought we were pretty friendly back then? Only negative I can remember is getting yelled at for asking what the password to that damned cave was in Exile II.
Or are you referencing to after they took out Misc?

Is it possible that the fantasy genre, or more, the escapism inate in it, has something to do with it?
I know too many people that poo-poo fantasy simply because it's "unbelievable", but that's precisely why I'm drawn to it.
I could read non-fiction and be constantly reminded of daily life, sci-fi and fear for our future, or fantasy and wander off and beat up a dragon. Some people need to get away more than others.

There used to be just such an RPG on this forum... Text based, though.......
But I digress.
Anyways, if you're on roll20 I"ll happily play test/bounce ideas around/etc. with you. Sounds like a great idea and shouldn't be TOO hard if you can convert the walkthrough into it.

Just an FYI as I had to delete this as well and this was the first google result when searching the text box.
