R18games.com.au is a not-for-profit site set up to campaign for a fairer, safer classification system for video games in Australia. We believe that the current system is outdated and dangerous, and is responsible for encouraging illegal video game piracy as well as placing adult material into the hands of children.
WHO RUNS THIS SITE?
This site was founded and is administered by me, Tim Colwill, a 24-year-old games developer-turned-games journalist living and working in Perth, Western Australia.
I am now doing freelance game development, webdesign work, and illustration. You can find out more about that by clicking here.
I am very lucky to have a small team of people supporting me with articles, news and information. Chief among these contributors are Matt Redmond, Sam Whitton and Glenn Petrie.
HOW CAN I GET IN TOUCH?
Email me – contact@r18games.com.au. I check my email frequently but am awful, truly awful at responding promptly. Place “urgent” in the subject line if you need a response within 24 hours.
DO YOU WANT SOME HELP?
