Crendowing Posted October 9, 2001 I just realized something. Not only is the release date for GBA DOOM exactly one month after the release of Collector's DOOM (in the U.S., at least), but both games are being distributed by Activision. Question: If Activision is distributing both products, then why in the Blue Hell do they allow an "M" rating for Collector's DOOM, but only a "T" rating for the GBA version? Is it because the PC versions have been out for a long time and Doom GBA is just now being made? /me gets dizzy at the thought 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted October 9, 2001 Probably because the blood splatters aren't quite the same in GBA as they are on the PC/console games. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted October 9, 2001 If you ask me, I think the idea of green blood was made so that they COULD give it a "T" rating (hence, suitable, as was said in the interview.) 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted October 9, 2001 yeah, when I think nintendo I think little kids so obviously they were shooting for the younger audiance with GBA Doom. I still don't get what you're getting at though... 0 Share this post Link to post
doomsick Posted October 9, 2001 my guess would be they (activision) have a feeling more kids play video games on game boys rather than computers. i could be wrong... 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted October 9, 2001 Maybe cause Game Boys are quite a bit simpler than computers to use. 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted October 9, 2001 The Gameboy lineup is still the most succesful gaming machine in HISTORY, completely and utterly destroying any other system/unit/box by sheer numbers. By changing a thing or two to get the game down to a Teen rating (and no ID check upon purchase for teens with afterschool jobs) they stand to sell a helluva lot more copies of the game, and thus make a helluva lot more money. 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted October 9, 2001 Game boys rule...that was the first console-like thing I ever got. Actualy, the only other console I ever got was a N64...I don't know why I got it, but I did. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zeratul 982 Posted October 9, 2001 It's all about the graphics. Usual games that would be rated M on other systems such as the N64, Playstation, or whatever that have high realism would be rated T on Game Boy which has limited realism and graphics. Who ever saw a game on Game Boy that contained blood that looked more than just a couple of red pixels with no realistic shading? 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted October 9, 2001 Ah, it all makes sense now. And I honestly had the same thought deadnail had. 0 Share this post Link to post

deadnail Posted October 11, 2001 You know a .440 Marlin can shoot right through ten truck engines lined up? 0 Share this post Link to post
Katarhyne Posted October 11, 2001 That's really not all that impressive. 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted October 11, 2001 It is when you consider that the pistol holds five rounds and is fairly easily concealed. So, if you have to hide your Police helicopter destroying pistol... 0 Share this post Link to post
Katarhyne Posted October 11, 2001 Yeah, and if you're a bear, you can actually fire it. ^_^ 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted October 11, 2001 A .440 Marlin is basically a .44 magnum pistol round... aside from the fact that it's a shitload longer and has roughly twice the powder in it. =) When you shoot it flaming pieces of wad can actually drift back and burn you... the round is mean for a rifle. I read a revolver-review about it and the guy said he dropped a four hundred pound deer from 300 feet away first shot. I guess if you really want a pistol that could blow a hole the size of a trashcan lid into a bear it would be comforting to know it exists. 0 Share this post Link to post
