Pan European Game Information
Culture entity
A self-regulatory European content rating system developed by ISFE so parents can make somewhat informed purchases. Established in 2003-04.
Name variations: PEGI
There have been and may still be some country specific variations of the system, though usually with only minor adjustments (e.g. PEGI 15 instead of PEGI 16). These should be noted if a game was released only in such a country and use the closest common equivalent rating instead (e.g. that 16 instead of 15, tag note should be enough to cover the difference).
PEGI ratings are not normally used to restrict sales, though the 18 rating may be the most common exception in this regard, though retailers likely ignore it unless local laws require otherwise.
