a lot of kids games (commercial, not necessarily video) use a range of ages.
Possibly we should try something like that? like games targetted at a certain
age range could be '6-12' or something, then have a couple like "M" for mature
and "A" for all/anyone? Trying to make a letter for every target would be
tedious and difficult to interpret I think :)
