1551 Mike Hookplease fix this archaic system!!! the average age of a Australian gamer is 28 not 12, adults are permitted to watch R classified movies - why are adults denied the right to play R classified games?
1552 Alan WolfThe game scene isn't just for minors, there are more 18+ gamers out there. You have motion pictures that have been classified R18+, there are games out there that hold an MA15+ Classification when they should be R18+.

1554 Darren PayneThe fact that the games industry now makes more money than the movie industry is evident that computer games are no longer just for 'kids'. An R rating is a requirement. The lack of one is an embarrassment to Australia.

1558 Jake RohanThe lack of an R18+ rating in Australia, only hurts the industry. there is no logical reason that games should be banned for realistic drug use (Blitz, Fallout 3), when movies can havea simple M rating for the same violation. The system is flawed.

1561 ThomasI think it is rediculous that any adult has the same rights as a 15 year old child, especially with the number of R18+ movies that show a much more graphic and often more realistic nature of explict content but are still allowed to be viewed and purchased. The comment that video games are for children is incredibly ignorant and such a statement should be disrigarded as argument.

1563 Adam LorneYes, We should have a R+18 game because I'm getting sick and tired of getting banned game in Australia but everywhere else gets them
1564 Chris Serong"Think of the Children" Just dont cut it anymore. If I want to play a mature game I shouldnt have to take my business overseas. I would much prefer to support local retailers and the AU video gaming industry.
1565 Simon ReesI believe it is time to create an R18+ rating as the average age of gamers is rising. It also allows companies to explore many topics as they are able to in movies and it can generate discussion and awareness of current issues and society opinions.

1571 AnonymousThe fact we don't have an R18+ rating for games is totally and utterly ridiculous. Along with the fact that several games have to be edited to hit our shores (some of the greatest games of our time as well, examples are GTA IV and Fallout 3), but other games have made even worse breaches of this, for example, Bio-bluddy-shock! You buy drugs from a vending machine and stab them in your arm, leaving lots of blood, when Fallout 3 could just have a harmless animation of a needle being stuck in your arm, something kids would have already gone through ie. immunizations! And why would parents let their kids play R18+ games anyway? They would be able to keep their kids from playing over-violent games. Ridiculous.
1572 Anthony PepperWhy can we get R rated movies and not R rated Games?
1573 Cathy BarrowPlease add an R (18=) Category to the gaming classifications.

1575 FragazineSupporting the fight. Check out http://fragazine.wordpress.com/ to keep up with my fight to get this classification introduced, thougrh it has literally only just began.

1579 Sam TimminsFor the love of god, video games haven't been the realm of "Kids only" since at least the mid-90s, if not the 80s! Wake up Politicians!
