Speaking of ratings, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates video and computer games. They are classified as Contained Areas (ESRB) and/or Interactive Sites (ESRBi). The ESRB symbol is located on the front of the package and gives information on the content and the age for which it is appropriate. "Descriptors" in a black and white box on the package back--give more details about the product in terms of: violence, sexual themes, language and other areas of interest.
There is a search feature at this site that will allow you to check on the ratings. Be sure to select the ESRB or ESRBi. When I checked on Bejeweled--it came back zero results. When I searched for Alchemy--it came back with Bejeweled and Alchemy--both rated for everyone and with "no descriptors" listed. Star Trek Conquest, online --is rated as mild violence.
I only have older versions of Ninetendo and Sega--which do not contain a rating. So, I can't give any more info at this point in time. But it sounds good!
