you had kids their adults now ;)
edit:
i was allowed to watch what wuold later become 18 rated movies (some predated the bbfc home video ratings) my parents knew them to be horror moves or violent action movies and i by watching them kinda knew they were jsut that movies
as i grew up in the 8bit era ive no idea what if any age rated games i would have been allowed to play if i was raised in this generation
watching freddy kruger kill dozzens of teenagers and wise cracking as he did so is one thing
BEING freddy kruger and doing the same when you are a 10 year old is another
you distance yourself from reality with a movie cos its not interactive (save fro the remote controll) its like reading a book but having someone else do the imagining for you ... ok not the best analogy
but read watch listen to it and you know it to be fiction or semi based on facts in some cases
play it and you ARE the hero villan or whatever of the game of the movie
i doubt the parental controll of anyone who lets their child play gta unsupervised if at all
sometimes age ratings are their for content others because you kinda learn these things irl at a certain age and when confronted with a puzzle or anything that requires semi adult education (im not talking just sex and drugs just gcse even)
we had a family in the shared house im in
parentts in the attic kids (8 and 10 iir)in the far room
kids had a 2nd hand psx (the old design)
they had dino crisis not a very scary game but iir rated either bbfc or pegi? at 15 (i think one of the guys got it for em so he could use thier playstation after he had to sell his ps2)
they got stuck on a puzzle and so did he when he came to help em out
so they asked me when i got in from work
it was to do with the number key cards
it was childishly simple when i looked at it and flipped em upsidedown to reveal leo sol or whatever it was but to them it was out of their leagues ... a few years later and it would be smack the foreheadingly obvious what the answere was
