We begin our PixSAL2023 journey paying tribute to one of video games' earliest female characters, Princess Peach! Although she has been in the majority of SMB video games, it is usually in the capacity of the "damsel in distress." However, she has been shown in several games, and one of the earliest female selectable character with SMB2(USA), as a strong, able bodied, intelligent, and powerful individual! So all hail the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and one of the first, and probably most well recognized, video game heroines, Princess Peach!
Women are POWERFUL!
For the longest time in video game history, the focus always seemed to be on male heroes having to save the poor, helpless, defenseless, weak, females… what a crock of &$^#!
WOMEN ARE STRONG!
WOMEN ARE BRAVE! WOMAN ARE POWERFUL! WOMEN ARE HEROES!
Times have
changed (a little bit anyway) and we are starting to see more and more strong
female lead characters taking charge and being the stars of video games. For PixSAL2023
we are going to visit and celebrate some popular, and some over looked, female
characters in early video game “her”story, and some of the obstacles they had
to overcome.
Here is what you will need to join me on this journey to celebrate this amazing women characters
