Microsoft plans Windows Game Blocker gets a June 1999 update. According to Associated Press, parents will be able to restrict the kinds of games their children play by enabling a feature that will be included in a future version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system due out next year.
The feature would allow parents to keep games rated to contain excessive violence, sexual content or expletives from being played on the computer. The option will be similar to a feature on Internet Explorer that can be used to block access to some Web sites, said Kevin Bachus, product manager for Microsoft’s multimedia group.
