Ah Tom, funny you mention double dragon.
now i think about it i was playing double dragon and International Karate
pluss at the age of 5 on our old amstrad computer, ---- before I lost the
sight of my right eye, I only mention mortal combat because I remember the
huge controversy when it was released and the removal of all the blood from
the Snes version (well, it actually stil has blood, the blood is merely
coloured grey), which I found confusing at the time sinse the violence in
the original Mk is more cartoon gore than anything else anbd not worse than
you'd see in Tom and Gerry.
of course, depending upon how much of a twisted evil psycho people think i
am now, that might influence what they think of children playing so called
violent games. grin!
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Q9 action game, my opinion.
Hi Dark,
Yeah, I have to agree. Setting the age limit at 14 and up is a bit too
strict for this title. At around 6 or 7 I was playing Montezuma's Revenge.
I was about 9 or so when games like Double Dragon, Megaman, Mario
Brothers, etc really became popular. My mom and dad had no problem with me
playing those games. Not even Castlevania I which featured mummies,
skeletons, the Grim Reaper, and other sci-fi and horror monsters. Compared
to the games out today this game would be given an E for Everyone rating
and not a T or Teen rating.

Well, saying 14 is a bit much.
I myself watched films like aliens, terminator and robocop and played
games like Mortal combat and moon stone at the age of 10, ---- heck, I
playes treetfighter 2 at the age of 8.
i'm not saying that games, films etc shouldn't have ratings, ---- just
that being too strict about it and the audience and markinting isn't too
helpful.
then again, it's possible people in the Uk are more relaxed on this
front, ---- or at least, are mostly.
beware the gRue!
Dark.
