All of the above are attributes specifically applicable to games
*except* "Kids".  That's an attribute of software in general: would kids
be interested in & be able to use this software?  It's a troublesome
label, too, because I don't know what age range or stage of development
it is meant to apply to.  So I'm not sure if it really belongs.  That
being said, I am interested in classifying games that are interesting to
& playable by kids.  But I'm not sure having a special category labelled
"KidsGame" is the best way to do it.
