Classification of computer games: player age

Published as advertising How many computer games can you find if you want? A thousand? Several thousand? Most likely much more. And all of them will differ in a number of parameters. One of the fundamental ones is the age of the player. Children's games will be of no interest to adults, and adult games are prohibited for children. So, how are computer games divided depending on how old their user is?

The youngest category of players are children aged 3 years. Before this period, it is not recommended to introduce the child to the monitor. For a three-year-old baby, the duration of the game, as a rule, is limited to a maximum of half an hour a day. The games themselves for such young players, for the most part, do not imply any complex actions - it's just pressing single keys and changing pictures on the screen. Everything is simple and elementary. Some games for the little ones are of a certain educational nature.

The next category is limited to preschool age at 6-7 years old. Games for these users, as a rule, are somewhat more complicated than elementary applications - they already have arcade components, they already have to achieve a certain goal. Separately, we note that it is already possible to lose in such games. The vast majority of games for preschoolers are training and educational programs that, during the game, introduce the child to new information - be it the names of animals and plants, the simplest foreign words, elementary arithmetic, and so on. Many such flash games are available for free on thematic sites.

The game for younger students is the next category. These games can be not only educational, but also entertaining. They are already based on the management of your favorite cartoon characters, books, comics, TV shows. These are the first games where there can be a division into games for girls and boys. In this case, young gentlemen might like Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers or Spider-Man games. Girls, in turn, are more suitable for games about fairies and princesses, animals, and so on.

Games for teenagers are not only single-player, but also multi-player projects. It is also worth remembering that teenage computer games still do not contain scenes of violence, bloody episodes, frightening characters. When choosing a game for a teenager, give preference to "not evil" games where you need to build and create something, and not destroy.
