Rating Summary

This is a collection of retro-style games with 8-bit graphics that includes a role-playing game, a scrolling shooter, a real-time strategy game, and an action game. Most games feature small characters engaged in minimal depictions of violence: casting magic spells, poking monsters with swords, tossing arrows at mushroom creatures that turn into coins. However, the dialogue punctuates the combat with phrases like "Prepare to Die," "I'll beat you to a bloody pulp," and "Kill 'im.'" One weapon, "bloody axe," depicts a red blade accompanied by the following text description: "The edge is blood red. But it's not rusted, mind you." The expletives "a*s," "damn," and "hell" also appear in text. In some scenes, female characters wear thigh-exposing short-shorts or tops that expose deep cleavage—in 8-bit graphics.
