The Many Faces of Barbie Games


Barbie games have had many different faces over the years. Of course, Barbie has looked almost exactly the same, but her style and the fashion options available to Barbie have changed quite a bit.

The earliest Barbies were dressed simply in a swimsuit with her hair in a ponytail. Soon fashions followed and the Barbies that were released in the years that followed had the same trends as the decades they represented. The Sixties brought a bouffant Barbie. The Seventies had a Barbie with straight hair and a golden tan. The eighties had a roller skating Barbie and then came the many movie adaptations of Barbie.

But Barbie has had one dramatic change over the years that will likely be the longest lasting. Yes, she got a belly button, but more importantly, Barbie moved online. When Barbie games became an online fixture, Barbie was more readily available to girls and women everywhere and that was a tremendous boost to her image and popularity.
