Michael. There never was an R18+ rating for video games. And it is different. You obviously haven’t read my post where I’ve stated that it is different because it is interactive.

I have to agree with you on every point you have made. I am all for an R+18 rating in games, such as what is already in place for movies, because it will allow something very VERY important for a game retail worker like mysef e.g.

Retailers: Hi how are you today. Looking to pick that one you today are you? Well, that’s an +18 rated game; show me some I.D. Don’t have it? Bad luck sorry you can’t buy it then. Why can’t you buy it? Because it’s illegal for me to sell it to you without seeing your I.D. first, that’s why… (end scene)

Did anybody else see what just happened then?

The ONLY thing we need, and i do stress ONLY: is to make it illegal to buy a game such as those with R+18 without proper identification – PROBLEM SOLVED

Now if the South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson can’t get THAT through his thick, out-dated skull, then i truly believe our efforts are doomed, as it could not be any simpler
