I posted this on the 3DO forum some months back. Since Flashback has gotten discussion recently, I thought I'd post it here ...


The CD-i & Jaguar versions are rated K-A (Kids to Adults, Ages 6+) This is what the E rating is today.

The Sega cd version is a bit stricter with its rating, giving Flashback an MA-13 (Teen today)

But the 3DO version ... 17 (An M rating by todays grading!)

I have a lot of respect for 3DO & Sega rating the software that appeared on their platforms before it was required, but it seems that they were overly strict perhaps ...

What do you think is an appropriate rating for Flashback? And why such varied opinions?

A teen rating sounds about right to me. There are instances of people getting shot and dying in the cinematic sequences, but if I remember correctly, there isn't any blood or anything.

I agree. Teen seems appropriate. The story has mature themes, w/kidnapping, conspiracies, deaths, etc ...

The Snes version has a few edits that the other ports didn't get ...

The original releases did have that comic book that later ports left out ... I'm trying to remember if it was very violent?
