Classification Markings for Computer Games
Classification markings are the classification symbols and words that appear on a range of film and computer game products. For example, they appear on DVD and computer games
boxes or on associated advertising material such as catalogues, flyers and cinema posters. They provide consumers, especially parents, with classification information to help them
choose a film to watch or a game to play for their family and friends.
There are three main components of a classification marking:
· classification symbol,
· classification description,
· consumer advice, which is specific to each film and computer game, and which informs consumers about some of the content in a film or computer game.
Computer games are classified G, PG, M or MA 15+. Each classification is coloured. G is green, PG is yellow, M is blue and MA 15+ is red.
