A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Final Fantasy 6. There are technically several protagonists, but the one with the better claim to "main protagonist" is a woman.

Also, Heaven's Vault isn't an old game, but it's not very well known or talked about, so I'll throw it in anyway.

Most of my suggestions were already mentioned, but PN03 & darkened skye come to mind.

Pedantry aside, if you count the option of selecting a female character, trickstyle, borderlands, super mario bros 2, vigilante 8 second offense, tony hawk 3 (4, underground and probably any in this series but I haven't played them lol)

Erica

The Syberia Series

The Longest Journey

Gone Home

Virginia

What remains of Edith Finch

Beyond Good and Evil

Gabriel Knight 3 has shared protagonists that you switch between; one is a woman.

Likewise some of the Broken Sword series

Talos Principle is either non-gendered or whatever you want the protagonist to be.

The first Blair Witch game from 2000

Everyone's gone to the Rapture

Also, holla at whoever said "No One Lives Forever"; that game rules.

Actually not from older generations, but Tacoma and Deliver Us The Moon are a few years old and both are short, sweet space-related narrative games with a female protagonist.
