 The Guardian Legend
I believe this to be the first game I played with a female protagonist, and it's on the NES console.
You should really read this good review of the game, it has screenshots from in-game and I totally agree with it myself. Here is a quote from it:
,,You play as Miria (Alyssa in Japan), "The Guardian" of the Earth and its sworn protector. Before Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Super Princess Peach, most females in 8-bit games were either kidnapped, captured, held hostage, killed, dead, evil, or just none. Back then, females fitted best in supportive roles like the helper or the sidekick. It is quite rare to see the leading role fulfilled by a female, even better when with one that transform into a jet. (How many women do you know that can do that?  )"

It made a big impact on my gaming, and it has stayed in my mind as one of the best games I've ever played.
It also has an unusually good soundtrack (one that I of course have on my mp3 player right now), and I don't grow tired of it.
You hear some of the tracks in this youtube video, and the clip is from a speed run.

Enjoy!

That kind of looks like Aegis Wings.
Pretty cool!
They should have had that game in the movie The Wizard..

Hahaha! I just watched that clip you posted, it looks like I'm lucky that I missed that movie, even though they play Super Mario Bros. 3 at the end. 
Yeah, it's really too bad many people missed the Guardian Legend game. I can't remember how I got a hold of it, it was probably because of the cover. *smiles* Yeah, I've always been attracted to female heroes for as long as I can remember. The only exception is the Norwegian version of the Phantom. I just wanted to be like him. *laughs*
To stay on topic (I'm the off-topic queen on other forums, so I'll try to be nice here) I'll post another blast from the past:
Snake Rattle N Roll
So check out this rather funny review:

It's a great and very challenging game. I think I never managed to finish the last level... That level was just... GAH! It annoys me to this day that I didn't get to finish it.
A speedrun of the whole game in like 5 minutes. WOW! I'm envious.  Notice the ice level... Gawd. And it looks so easy... But it's so very very very hard!

Enjoy!
