Rating Summary

This is a collection of 30 classic arcade games covering several genres. Games range from "Old School" titles from the Atari 2600 and Intellivision consoles (e.g., Yar's Revenge, Millipede, Space Armada, Sea Battle) to titles that once thrived in 1980s arcades (e.g., Asteroids Deluxe, Centipede, Tempest). Most of these "retro-style" games depict minimal violence; for example, small icons, space ships, and sprite-like characters shooting geometric-like projectiles at each other. This compilation receives an E-10+ rating for the Konami game Jail Break: Players control a small policeman figure that shoots criminals breaking out of jail. When a criminal is shot, he flashes and drops off screen; criminals use Molotov cocktails and tiny guns to attack players. Players have the ability to shoot civilians in Jail Break, but this act is discouraged in the game—as indicated by a red "X" that appears over shot civilians. And while the compilation includes other instances of gunfire (e.g., Red Baron, Combat, Outlaw), the rudimentary graphics and low-fidelity sound design lessen the impact of the violence.
