Most games today are virtually guaranteed a Teen or worse rating, due to the ridiculously high standards st by the ESRB, but we all remember back in the day when the ratings of E (or K-A for you old fellas) were a bit more common.  Sometimes though, it used to seem like they never played the game through before slapping it with a rating.

For me, the best example of this was Legend Of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, the game had grave robbery, torture chambers, skeleton warriors, and a final battle that ends with Link slashing madly at a wounded Gannon's face, complete with blood (edited out in later versions )

What other games can you think of that were seemingly much worse than their rating?

I know a game that was inversely affected: Crazy Taxi. Apparently, it was rated Teen, for the simple fact that the license plate on one of the cars read 5exy.

I've never played any Zelda games before but my cousin recently lent my Twilight Princess, and I must say it's a really good game. I'll have to see if I can get some of the 64 games second hand.


And yeah, Banjo-Tooie had a lot of subtle adult jokes.

if you can get ocarina of time, try to get the oldest version possible, before the fire temple, Ganon, and some other things got toned down

That new Batman film was rated "12a" here. Which means that if you're under 12 and with a Parent you can watch it. I saw some little kids in the cinema when I went to watch it. That film has some brutal/twisted stuff!

I have that game on my PC now (emulator) but it just isn't the same without the N64 controller.

Karma for whoever tells me how to connect an N64 controller to my computer.

Wait, found it myself.

Well its just like all the servers for COD4 and other M rated online games that have kids playing them. M here means 17+.
