	cars - Computer and video game genres
		A popular subgenre of the racing game is the kart racing game, which simplifies the vehicle handling and introduces various obstacles and other quirks to the racetrack.
		Music games are typically arcade games that challenge the player to follow sequences of movement or develop specific rhythms.
		Some arcade games, in particular Tetris-variants, are often labeled puzzle games, despite the fact that gameplay depends on hand/eye coordination and quick reflexes, rather than thought and logic.

	Gambling Guide > Game Theory
		Note it is difficult to apply game theory to life because everybody wants different things out of life-someone may go all out for a little piece of money, others may want huge amounts with little effect, and yet others wish for things as well as money.
		Game theory classifies games into many categories that determine which particular methods can be applied to solving them (and indeed how one defines "solved" for a particular category).
		Zero-sum games are those in which the total benefit to all players in the game adds to zero (or more informally put, that each player benefits only at the expense of others).

	Game classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Game mechanics are the rules by which the game play and winning conditions are regulated.
		Games like Backgammon and Bridge are somewhere in the middle of this spectrum: these are stochastic in nature (i.e.
		For some simulation games, the realism is more important than all other factors, whereas some games (Set) are so abstract that the names and shapes of all the pieces could change without affecting playability.

	A games classification system for strategic understanding and tactical awareness
		The game classification system to be explained here suggests the central importance of strategic understanding and tactical awareness whenever teaching children to play games.
		The castle game is played between two or three players and for this reason is more suitable for grade 3 children (eight years of age) and older.
		The progression in the “toss onto target” game and “castle game” are both beginning games that develop strategic understanding and as the games are played with an opponent, develop tactical awareness that can be transferred into other net/wall type games.

	Principles TGFU
		These game classification systems identify four game forms--target (e.g., curling, lawn bowls, golf), court or net/wall (e.g., tennis, squash), field or striking/fielding (e.g., baseball, cricket) and territory or invasion (e.g., rugby, football, basketball).
		For territory/invasion and striking/fielding games the principles are considered in relation to players when they are trying to score (attacking or batting) or trying to stop the opposition scoring (defending or fielding).
		Thorpe and Bunker (1989) explain how games teaching strategies of sampling, modification through representation (a simplified game), modifcation through exaggeration (eg., a long and thin area of play in net/wall games) and games focused on certain tactical complexity, allow children to become active decision makers in their own learning.

	Campaign for the Introduction of an R (Restricted 18+) Category for Computer Games in Australia
		Classification guidelines are specified by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Classification Ministers in order to assist members of the Classification Board in making classification decisions that are "consistent and reflective as far as possible of the views of the Australian community."
		When the current computer game classification guidelines were introduced in 1994, concerns about the interactive nature of computer games, and the possible adverse effects of violent computer games on children, were uppermost in the minds of the Ministers.
		Proposals advocating the classification of computer games in the same manner as films and videotapes, and the proposed introduction of a uniform system of classification for all entertainment media, are of particular interest to the computer gaming community.

		Genres are suited to classify what the game is about, but not so well suited to classify the amount and what type of data that can be gathered from the game, hence being less useful in a data mining context.
		Game playing generate many more events than web browsing, since events are based on real-time actions in the game (e.g driving a car, talking to other avatars, flying on a dragon's back etc.).
		Information gathering of game log files described earlier is shown in figure 3, part A. In order the make the system scale up to a large number of players, we need to create higher-level aggregated information, e.g.

	Lotrec I & Lotrec II Game Classification Request
		Class I gaming consists of “social games [played] solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming engaged in by individuals as part of, or in connection with, tribal ceremonies or celebrations.” 25 U.S.C. Class II gaming includes bingo, related activities, and certain non-banking card games.
		Banking games, as commonly understood and as defined in NIGC regulations, are games in which the banker (usually the house) takes on, that is, competes against, all players, collecting from losers and paying winners.
		Because of this characteristic, the games are not class II games.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Game Taxonomies: A High Level Framework for Game Analysis and Design"
		For example, the game of poker has elements of pure gaming and also elements of gambling, since it presents a win/lose scenario played according to a rule set, in which chance has a significant impact upon the outcome but within which skill can also have a major role.
		By virtual gaming we mean games that have most of their mechanics processed within a computer and have their audiovisual content delivered by computer peripherals, rather than being played out and experienced in physical space.
		If we clearly identify which aspects of the game experience are to have narrative structure and which are to be patterned gaming, we can apply narrative techniques at the right level and consider detailed mechanics for integrating narrative with game play.

	PALGN speaks to the OFLC - PALGN Interview - Australia's PAL Gaming Network
		Classification decisions are made at the Federal level by the Classification Board and enforcement is carried out by the State and Territory Governments.
		Broadly, classifications are made on the basis of applying an “impact test” (very mild impact through to strong impact) to a set of “classifiable elements” (themes, violence, sex, language, drug use, nudity) considered at each classification.
		At the time that Ministers decided to limit the classification of computer games to MA15+ in 1996, they were concerned that, because of their ‘interactive’ nature, games might have greater impact, and therefore greater potential for harm, on young minds than films.

	Information for Game Distributors
		The combined effect of sections 8(1)(q) and 8(3) of the Act is that an unrestricted game is exempt from the legal requirement on all other types of film to carry a New Zealand classification label.
		If a game has content considered to be restricted or objectionable in New Zealand it must be classified by the Office of Film and Literature Classification before it can be supplied to the public and sold in New Zealand.
		If you are interested in submitting a game for classification go to the contact details for the Labelling Body or go directly to a submission form.

	Tribal gaming revenues grow as NIGC withdraws one rule, explains another : ICT [2002/07/25]
		Reported revenues from 290 tribal gaming operations were in excess of $12.7 billion, a 16 percent increase over the $10.9 billion reported from 288 gaming operations for calendar year 2000.
		No special significance should be attached to the fluctuation in gaming operation numbers, a NIGC official told Indian Country Today, as the numbers are simply a reflection of how tribes report their revenues to the regulator.
		Critics of the proposed classification rule had numerous objections; most specifically, many tribal officials criticized the fact that it minimized the role of tribal gaming commissions in ascertaining a game's proper class.

	Adult gamers call for R rating \| APC Magazine
		Adult-themed games have also come under greater scrutiny in Western Australia, with the state government’s recent decision to ban the public display of MA 15+ games.
		Unlike last year’s spate of computer game bannings (which saw both Rockstar’s Manhunt and Sierra Entertainment’s Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude refused classification), Getting Up was not banned for depictions of violence or sex exceeding the maximum allowed MA 15+ rating for games.
		Im not saying we should have them all banned but banning a game where the idea is to express yourself artistically instead of toting a gun and 'whackin' guys for 'your homies cos someonen dissed them'is just plain stupid.

	Game classification
		The more reality-based the game, the more complex the "rules" can be since players can use their knowledge of real-world rules as a basis for understanding the game world.
		A game whose backstory is useless to gameplay might as well discard the backstory.
		Conversely, virtual worlds usually rely on sub-games interacting with one another, such as killing monsters producing loot, which can then be sold, crafted, and used to produce weapons and armour that improves killing monsters.

	Creation of a R18+ Category in the Classification of Video Games in Australia Petition
		I ask that a R18+ category of classification be created for video games to allow adults access to media they wish to view, whilst at the same time protecting minors.
		According to the Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games, video games featuring nudity, including genitalia, are to be “Refused Classification” unless there is a “bona fide educational, medical or community health purpose”, in which case the game will receive an MA15+ rating.
		Yet in the context of a video game, not only is such content considered to be inappropriate for minors and worthy of an R18+ rating, but even adults are denied access to the video game because no R18+ rating exists in the classification of video games.
