Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 3 and features occasional very mild violence in a comical or abstract context. Suitable for all ages.

Brief outline of the game

Re-release of the 1983 Atari classic in which players take on the role of a young boy who must try to reach various ice cream cones before they melt while avoiding the chefs who are out to get him.

Content specific issues

This game features very mild violence. Enemies can be defeated by throwing food at them, which causes them to change colour and fly off-screen. If the player's character is hit by an enemy, he will freeze in place and all food remaining in the level will fly at him. This does not result in any visible harm or hurt. The basic visuals and gameplay mechanics make the violence less disturbing.

Brief outline of the game

Re-release of two pixelated platform games themed around a black cat and his magic bag: Felix the Cat (NES version) and Felix the Cat (Gameboy version).

Content specific issues

Violence is very mild and either directed at cartoony humans or at fantasy characters. Violence and reactions are unrealistic in nature. Both enemies and Felix fall off-screen when defeated without visible harm or hurt, while all bosses explode in the same way when defeated. The cartoon-like visuals help make any violence less disturbing.
