“Everybody loves Pac-
Man - and every decent
Pac-Man fan has Pac-
Man carpets on the floor,
Pac-Man curtains at the
windows, sleeps in a Pac-
Man pyjamas and dries
himself in Pac-Man
The Pac-Man Show
(ABC, 1982-1983) towels.”

Mortal Kombat offers “children
exciting new ways to maim,
dismember, and murder unsavory
opponents in a sadistic martial-arts
tournament" where "it is considered
a mark of success… to rip the head
and spine out of an opponent and
wave it in the air while the blood
flows to the ground"
Montreal Gazette 7 Aug. 1994

“Children are playing a
game that encourages
them to have sex with
prostitutes and then
murder them...This is
a silent epidemic of
media desensitisation
that teaches kids it’s
okay to diss people
because they are a
woman, they’re a
different colour or
they’re from a different
place.”
Hillary Clinton, 2005

“Games differ from
other funding-entitled
art forms, since they
are more about
movement and action
than about language.”
