3DO Rating System

The 3DO Rating System was a rating system created by The 3DO Company and used on games released for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. The rating system has four categories:

  • E - Everyone
  • 12 - Guidance for 12 & under
  • 17 - Guidance for 17 & under
  • AO - Adults Only

These ratings would appear on the lower front and back of the packaging, while the back of the packaging also specified what content was present in the game. This rating system was discontinued after the Entertainment Software Rating Board was established in 1994 and from then on, 3DO games were rated by ESRB.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    “The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
    —Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
