Japan's New Games Rating System

The site GamesIndustry.biz has a report on a change to the CERO system. The Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO), now has an adults-only category. From the article: "The A rating is equivalent to the current CERO All rating for all ages, B is for CERO 12 (for ages twelve and over), C equates to CERO 15, and the D rating would be for ages seventeen and up - for which there was no previous equivalent. The A-D ratings will remain advisory, but the Z rating will be regulated by the government."

    That's an old game for the Atari 2600. I was reading a review of it in a gaming magazine when I asked my dad what the word "seduce" mean and I got smacked upside the head with the magazine. I was about 12 at the time. Needless to say, I didn't get the game.
