A bit late to the thread, but I just wanted to say Beyond Two Souls recently had its 10 year anniversary, if that counts as old.

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.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet.
I feel like no one has mentioned Urban Chaos till now. I friggin loved that game! The hacks too!

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.
idk what it is about Heaven’s Vault artstyle but something irks me about it, i wish i could say what ti is

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)
pn03 looks like bayonetta and vanquish got it going, looks itneresting
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.
Siberia 100%.
Oni Parasite Eve X-Blades
- Monster World IV
- Twinkle Tail
- If Tomb Raider is old enough for you
- Contra
- Touho
- another game I played (forgot the name, will edit later)
- most games where you could choose between 2 or more playable characters
Now that I think of it, the only not oversexualised female protagonists in retro games (I can think of rn) are from japanese titles. The USSR didn't import video games and Europe and the US were just too conservative ig.
