I wasn't proposing that we make up anything - just use the ESRB ratings system
that just about every commercial game in existance uses. People with a great
deal more knowledge about this stuff than we have spent a lot of time thinking
it up - and (I think) most parents understand it...at least parents who pay
any attention to ratings will. (Quake is 'M' rated - have you seen teenagers
playing it?)
