Removing all adult themed games in large collection...fastest?

Recommended Posts

Copying my collection for a friend (and yes, I actually had him BUY LB premium...cause I support this awesome software!), but I need to remove all adult themed games from my large 43k games collection...

At least I need to try, I know some to remove, but any suggestions on how to do this quickly? Anyone have an adult playlist perhaps, so I can find some fast>... or is there a way to quickly see which games have been tagged HIDE in the edit view? ...which I do to all adult games in my collection when I noticed/add one...

Thanks.

If just talking MAME and imported using the fullset feature then just do a playlist with following:

If talking all other platforms, then depends on what "mature" means (i.e., violent games or those with nudity/adult themes).  Could pull off the ESRB rating for post 1995ish games but that assumes they have been flagged in the LB DB where could use a playlist to sort/exclude.  Anything prior to 1995 (other than MAME), likely hit or miss.  When I had to do this for some younger relatives, I erred on side of caution and only included my "favorites" in each platform and only the early console eras (e.g., NES, SNES) where I could be sure we were looking at games that wouldn't cause any issues.  There were not as many during that period but did have the occasional ones like "Custer's Revenge" for Atari 2600 to watch for.   Hiding is not good in my mind if you no longer have control of the system since someone is bound to un-hide if not knowing (or curious).
