None of the girls I know were into computer games. I think it's just not something girls are typically interested in, especially not back in those ancient times when M&M6 came out. Back then, not many people even had computers. By nature, guys are more drawn to games that involve speed of thought, reaction time, information, and adrenaline rushes, starting with computer games and football and ending with motorcycles and other extreme activities. Although, that's more of a rule, and lately, people have been breaking rules. ;)
I got my own computer (meaning I played 8-10 hours every day) in 1998, right around the time the sixth installment came out, if I'm not mistaken – in any case, it was one of the first games I played on my own computer. And Grim Fandango, Small SoldierSS, AoE, Fallout2, Half-Life, Thief, not to mention Heroes...
Before that, I played games on borrowed computers – Doom, Quake, Alone in the Dark, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.
But stereotypes are definitely a bad thing. ;) We're all gamers here, and we're all adrenaline junkies.
