Top Level Categories

Some of the top level categories have remained from the old system but some have been removed (e.g. Adult and Educational).

Duel is a new genre and was created for those games where the primary aim is to have a one-on-one duel (e.g. Spy vs Spy).

Games is for (computer) games based on (traditional) games e.g. circus games or board games.

Multi Type is for games with multiple genres (usually for each level).

Navigator represents those games where the chief objective is about travelling through an area avoiding obstacles (yes, I know that many games include this).

Reaction is for those games where quick reactions are paramount.

Utility was included to categorise utilities which are usually associated with a game.
