My Little Pony: Was the first "pink" game I played. It had never crossed my mind that I had not played anything like this "Pink" game before, that all the other games I had played we're primarily aimed at young boys. We had only recently bought a computer for the house....
The game required the player to customise their own pony to play with in Pony land and the objective of the game was to train your pony so that she could cross the bridge from her field into the town where other npc ponies awaited to be played with. The controls were simple, a left mouse click on the ground would make the pony move to that point, and icons at the bottom of the screen would interect with the pony themselves. I remember I would quickly get bored of my pony and its constant need to be fed apples and have its hair brushed, and would constantly click the other side of the bridge in hope that I could finally see what was on the other side. Unfortunatly, this would usually end up with a cowering pony, too young to cross, and a frustrated little girl that couldn't understand why she hadn't advanced enough in the game to continue. This did not stop me playing the game however, I would often start the game again and create a new pony, the customisations were simple (changing the colour of your characters skin and hair) but new and enjoyable, considering none of the previous games I had played let you customise your character at all. After severall playthoughs, once I had learned how the game worked, I finally managed to get my latest pony to cross the bridge. Awaiting the other side were different mini games to play, it was a joy to be able to play these simple yet enjoyable games because I really felt like I had earned it. I replayed the game through again on many occasions afterwards.
