If you're under 17, you do need a legal guardian's consent to play Mature Rated games. But if you're 17, fucking grab sum nutz. You're parents may be able to say they don't like those kind of games, but you are legally allowed to purchase them and play them without the need of parental consent.

Besides, unless you're like, 12, there's no fucking reason not to be allowed to play Mature rated games. If your parents are closed minded, it's your duty to convince them, or straight up tell them that you're going to find a way to do it. Being told what to do your whole life will give you no satisfaction when you can finally do what you want.

GET SUM NUTZ.

That being said, you really are missing out on really good games, since you're parents won't let you play M rated games.

Heh, fuck, I played Duke Nukem 3D when I was 6 or 7. Shit had titties and exploding monsters. Hell yeah!
