Women Wise Announced

Women Wise has been announced, and the pitch is now loose in the wild for PC and console players to start arguing about.

Women Wise has been announced, and the pitch is now loose in the wild for PC and console players to start arguing about.

The useful part: Building on the popularity of romance novels and the scarcity of computer entertainment properties reflecting women’s interests, an interactive romantic adventure on CD-ROM will launch the Women Wise brand. Based on a true story, The Legend of Lotus Spring is targeted at women, primarily the casual gamer, inviting players to experience the tragic story of a young emperor and the woman he is forbidden to love. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
