But back when women like Carol Shaw started, there were even fewer women making games.
There, she created games likeVideo Checkersand3-D Tic-Tac-Toe(which took her six months to create).

“She also hand wrote her code on paper and then later typed it in.”
Thats where she would developRiver Raid, which Novakovic said sold 1 million copies upon its release in 1982.
Also in 2017, Shaw donated a ton of her Atari work to The Strong Museum for its archives.

I think she really helped paved the way for [the] female game designers that came later.
