Title
Ben Casey: A Heartthrob for girls
Subject
An image of the Ben Casey M.D. game box mentioning that the game is based on the ABC Television's TV series at the time
Description
As discussed in the Pronouns section, the Ben Casey game is targetting young boys. However, casting a handsome male lead in any TV show is going to attract young girls. Putting this image on the game box can have the same impact and entice girls to purchase and play the game no matter how sexist it is.
