Exactly! They point out right at the outset that all the dinosaurs are female, and then you hear folks talking about how that huge T-rex was one bad dude, and that part where he's chasing them or whatever is so cool. And when I refer to her as "she" they look momentarily startled.
I got Zelda II on my 3DS to try it out--last time I'd played it I WAS in kindergarten, and it was on a friend's NES. I don't know if I ever figured out what the hell I was doing. Now I at least have a purpose, but I AM always amused by how many game standards in the olden times were obviously artifacts of the arcades' money-making model.
