"Dangerous" computer games

Published: 4 August 1999 y., Wednesday
Recently US president Bill Klinton has called corresponding national institutions on for study of the computer games markets. The underlying idea is to find out how large is the portion of games which appeal for violence. As to Russian computer and video markets, this call will hardly be heard here. Both Russian children, parents and sellers of potentially "dangerous" computer games have already got accustomed to speculations about the harm caused by these games. Research done by local psychologists revealed that the parents_ greatest worry is the amount of time spent by their children in front of the computer, and not the exact things which children go in for during that time.
