I agree.  ppracer for example is an arcade like game, wich can be played
by kids, too.

What about one faclet for the game type, and one for target group?

suitablefor-smallkids, suitablefor-youngster, suitablefor-teens,
not-suitablefor-for-kids or something similar?  I don't we can judge
every game for a definate age like "This game is for kids ranging from
0-12", but we might get some more raw categories working without longer
discussions.


BTW:  Speaking of games, is there an "Needs:3D-acceleration" or
something like that?


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
