                I believe one such company was called something like Purple Moon. It recently
                went bankrupt and was absorbed by the barbie folks (that's gotta hurt yer
                pride!!). I remember reading a lot
                of articles a year or two ago about 'games for girls'... It acually seems like
                there is less hype about it now. Kinda like push content and portals :)
                
                That doesn't mean that companies that could produce a cross-gender game (Myst??)
                wouldn't do great, but targeting one gender specifically may get you in
                trouble...
