** ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)|Gauntlet]]'' has three male (Warrior, Wizard, Elf), one female (Valkyrie). Sequel ''Gauntlet Legends'' averts this by changing the androgynous-looking elf to a female elven Archer. ''Dark Legacy'' falls back in when adding four more characters to the exisitng four: three male (Dwarf, Knight, Jester) and one female (Sorceress). As well, the breasts on all the women became about [[Gag Boobs|twice the size of their heads]]. ''Seven Sorrows'' then goes back to the original four characters.
*** ''Get Medieval'', a [[Spiritual Successor]] by Monolith Productions, kept a 2:2 ration by turning the Wizard into a naughty sorceress whose every line was a [[Double Entendre]]. (Okay, some were even single ones...)

* In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' games, while there are a small handful of important female NPCs, when it comes to the playable characters, the three main characters are all male, and there's only one female [[Guest Star Party Member]] in each game; Ariel of ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' in the first one, and [[Mulan]] in the sequel.
