I don' t understand. Being a Sonic obsessed fan of old I naturally picked up Sonic Mega Collection when it came out in the UK Friday. I forgot how hard the bloody Labyrinth Zone boss is on the original Sonic but one other thing surprised me. On the box the game is rated 12+ meaning anyone under the age of 12 legally can' t buy the thing in the shop and shouldn' t really be playing it.

Sonic as far as I' ve understood has always been kid friendly so I can' t understand why a 12+ has been slapped on the box. Sonic Advance 3 is a 3+ only because anyone under 3 is possibly too young to understand how to play a console. Is there some kind of law in the UK stating that anyone under the age of 12 can' t play old-school games or something???
